Pantoum in Boston
Copyright 2001 by Jon Gill

Sitting on a park bench
On a rainy day in Boston
Trying to read a poem in French
There’s a couple lines I’m lost in

On a rainy day in Boston
The sidewalks still are full
There’s a couple lines I’m lost in
Beneath the sky so dull

The sidewalks still are full
Of the vendors selling wares
Beneath the sky so dull
I’m feeling all the stares

Of the vendors selling wares.
Sitting beneath the trees
I’m feeling all the stares
Among the blowing leaves

Sitting beneath the trees
Trying to read a poem in French
Among the blowing leaves
Sitting on a park bench.
