Thanks to Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, JD Salinger and the city of Boston for an interesting mental milieu

A winter's walk on Commonwealth Avenue Kathy I said this reminds me of 1992 I dreamed of Harvard then and Catcher in the Rye I am a rock I could see Boston from my mind's eye Now I have patches on my sleeves like I passed some kind of test Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest

Interesting memories.. This was not really a contest, it was an opportunity to showcase your first poem and I am glad you entered. Thank you.
