Boston->New York Land of Opportunity

Boston, land of entitlement and colleges. Boston Commons & the Freedom Trail winding through Beacon Hill. What once used to stand at the height of the acorn atop the capital building was stripped with oxen and cart to flatten the North End and make residential land. Wavy Brick walkways, hazy gas lamps that might as well be using whale blubber to keep their smolder in the daylight. Accosting by the blaring PA systems of duck tours and like zooming on by the Granary cemetery with a split second to see a grave that may be Samuel Adams or Paul Revere. A Frenchman given to patience and austerity now a "where's waldo" headstone to be photographed. Visored women with fanny packs reading off names on the tombstones with a dramatic tone to kids reverently as if they knew them all. Walking tours guided by period thespians herding children who notice that most the dates end at 30 years of age. This is a peaceful place in the land without public bathrooms and history to spare. Catch the bus to New York and dance with drink till the plane comes take me away.
