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.
