for ES
the dictionary definition of prospect is
"outlooks for the future"
and so this i ponder on a train platform.
once walking between the larrikin
of halls Class of 1903 and Jones,
i'd come across the gardens,
prospective ones or so said the
namesake.
i stepped over the leaves that were
on the ground but not quite
off the branches
read the bronze penny
stained black tablet
the roses and blackeyed susans,
cultiviated by class of 1850
gentlemen farmers
and named as the
view of the sight
filled one with such
good prospects.
now i don't quite know
why the trolly dodger park's
called that
and i've never quite been
so, thinking about it
i'll have to rely on
going with you
but of course
you say the same about the Gardens
so take my hand and follow me
