6724. MINISTRATIONS

MINISTRATIONS
All those cowboys coming 'round the bend
and it's not Easter time any more; even Fleet
Week has passed, yet there are hundreds at
the teeming shore. The short man is selling
hot dogs, and a pretzel cart sits nearby.
-
Indians and Pakistanis gather, those from
Sri Lanka stare. A few young girls are in the
light, looking about, their dresses sheer. Enough
for the light and the wind to meld my heart to
theirs  -  Texas, and those Shriners. Funny
people everywhere. I want to love the tourist.
-
Before capsizing, any one of these large boats
would yell for people: 'More!' I can hear it now,
all those boobs and their harbor cruises and Circle
Line Tours. A few buses are bunched like lions.
