Mayor Menino in the Grand Procession 
twenty First Night years heading up Boston
Chinese dragons hoisted on sticks 
rippling a zig-zag on Boylston Street
Segway cops
duck boats and mini cars
The Cycling Murrays each with only one wheel
and large girls joyous in twirling bands
taut with synchronicity 
quaking individually 
smiling at cheers from the sidewalk throng…
broad-faced Menino 
this last year riding on the Teamsters truck 
next year the next and the next also up front
high above the way.
