Got The Boston Blues?

Haymarket Dream
by Edward S. Gault

Old derelicts
Lay sleeping to the sounds
Of clarinet music
Under the Fitzgerald Expressway.
Vendors pitch chick peas,
Squash, and drupes;
Others haggle
With old vietnamese women
Over the price of celery.
Nearby a child sells
Conch shells
For a nickle
At her table.
