Caught Up

winding turning
fits like clockwork
stop and go
and pause for traffic
grab the paper
put on earphones
run up stairs now
past the glass walls
past the history
new meets old
and old meets new
humming motors
street performers
screaming vendors
crying birds
water calls up
visitors new
licking tongues
that stretch far out
long leashed dogs
strain with their masters
photographers stop
to muse
lounging poets
sunning beauties
avid walkers
coffee drinkers
follow sidewalks
get caught up in
the school of fish
that's never-ending
ever flowing
feels more like home
than anything else
Boston, Mass
I love this city
