14:} Bailey's Sure Cure For 'Serious'

Huh?
Is anybody there?

Do you ever feel like
someone's watching you?

13:} There Are Places...

Been
trying for
years to figure
out where the hell
I've been all this time.
Now, let's see...

12:} 1960's Lilliputian Mission Hill

The first picture, taken from the top of Mission Hill in 1910,
is out of a a book entitled ‘The Glories of Mary in Boston',
written by a parish priest who chronicled the origins
of Mission Hill and Church, recording in minute
detail the two puddingstone birthplaces
of the yet-to-be steepled
Basilica of Our Lady
of Perpetual
Help.

11:} Parallel Worlds Discovered!

Down
Pontiac Street
I rush towards the bus
stop in front of Mission Church.
Anxiously I await the garbage truck

world during the short ride to another...

10:} The Day I 'Almost' Hit Her

I remember...
having a mug of coffee at the table while
looking up in total and utter disbelief at the
small tapestry hanging next to the kitchen clock.
There was a drawing of a young girl in a pink dress.

never been revealed

into a world I wouldn’t wish upon
even my worst enemy, and believe me,
I've encountered a few…

8:} Humor Code Deciphered!

In the second half of the 1970’s,
I managed valet services at St. Botolph
St. Restaurant, behind the Colonnade Hotel
across from the Prudential Center, prior to my
'inheriting the door' of the exclusive Hampshire
House at the foot of Beacon Hill, above The Bull
& Finch Pub, and below ‘Quaffers’ discotheque!

7:} The Night I Met Jimmy

I
never
had more
than one friend
during any period
of time while growing up.
Every single one {all four} of
them were picked off as soon
as they appeared in the
telescopic sights of
her calibrated,
cruel and
spiteful,
mind.

6:} High As The Moon, Deep As The Charles

A little over two years ago,
Apollo 11 astronauts introduced
the world to the moon up on the TV
in Fontaine's late one Sunday afternoon.
