Lost in Boston
Yussra MT Ebrahim
11/5/2017

narrow city streets
smell of urine and weed
I will only walk here
for as long as I need

my daily walk from the station
and to the station
smells of weed and urine
and enduring stagnation

I am a student
I travel to class
these are the nights
that I get to pass

I am a teacher
I journey to school
I am authority, yet
I don't know the rules

I am a teacher
finally it's here
my dream of seven years
but why is it here?

lost in Boston
though I know my way
you are heavy and rough
and old, you decay

every city in fact
can expect my back in its view
for the forest smells of air
and wood and splendor and dew

but for now

every person in the city
can expect my smile
and my energy and my time
and I am grateful all the while
