Keith Lockhart Pops 20th anniversary 
seems no longer than his 10th and
Fiedler was decades ago.
Deb was reluctant before agreeing to the Pops downtown
Dawn was sometimes unwilling.
Among the years of Independence launched from the barge
the Stealth Fighter boomed
Melissa’s chest vibrated by the finalé salutes and
Lewis disappeared across the Longfellow Bridge 
we waited the while until he returned.
Oh my gosh
the Sienna parked near the exit of the Alewife T
the car's remote battery died and
as the exit lane halted edged inched stalled past 
the misery van sounded chirps incessantly.
