Autumn in Cambridge
Cambridge, January 2006
Cold wind blusters, fallen leaves swirl and dance along sidewalks.
Stubborn New Englanders walk swiftly, heads ducked
into the cold wind,
hands shoved
into pockets.
The town is rampant with refusal
to pull out the heavy coat, and
to admit the arrival of winter.
Sharp wails of a car alarm pierce the . . .
