BOSTON HARBOR WALK ON A SUNNY MONDAY AFTERNOON IN OCTOBER


Newton ladies better known as the Walking Group gather at the JFK library to experience the wonders of the Boston Harbor Walk.


There they find the story of the Fisherman and his Wife, partially retold,
and the fisherman without his wife,
the upstarts better known as the (original) Boston Tea Party,








  & bayberry bushes, bearing the waxy berries, blue in color, with which the colonists made candles.


Beyond the pleasures of the flora

and fauna
lay the half-submerged yellow submarine of Beatles fame (sans the Beatles, they hope), and with it
 the reminder that time and tide wait for no man (or woman, for that matter).  Hearing the siren call of Boston,
    they return to the realities of their world.

  1. the upstarts (?), the original tea party, were protesting onerous taxes imposed by the rogue king George 3, and his get a-long, go-along, parliament. Strange, wouldn't you say, that Boston would be the scene of rebellion against an over-reaching government whose purpose was to force the colonists to pay for the British Empire's wars of imperialism, of an ever expanding military hegemony? Wait a minute, isn't there a like minded, like titled group with same name agitating for the same reasons? Atavism at its best, and gone viral at that. the growing pandemic for which no metastasizing central government could ever hope to find a cure.
