October 7th 19
Autumn settles on the boat pond Central Park trees Green to Orange to Yellow On the pond To radio controlled sloops Race Through fallen leafs__ An imitation America Cup Both sailing south Driven on a crisp northwesterly___ Central Park Not the East Village Rosy red cheeked children Race around the pond At Arm's Reach From four nannies Three young mothers___ I remember my youth The change of seasons Summer to autumn I remember the wind Through the trees Of the Blue Hills All the colors So special The blue of the sky The white of the clouds Silver and gray too And the trees___ The leaves Green yellow red Under The strong sunlight Hearing the children's laughter Remember mine And my mother's laughter So long ago in our backyard In the Blue Hills. Laughter Same as Central Park Forever young___
