Interchangeable--Ireland And Massachusetts

Hyannisport,
Darling?

No:
rather, Some evening in Seattle
leviathans of Yachts upon the
waterfront or the pale-rain
refractions of a Boeing--the lights off
the Hotel and all those elegant
affairs:

(Crashing
the parties
of the Jet
manufacturers:
there they usually
Receive
an Irishman Somewhere.
about)

Hyannisport,
(then),
Love?

After: North Carolina and the Kennedys!
Your very own political Aristocracy. Heavyset watery
Blue or flannel patterned. Dinner jackets and
Ties in the shadow of Family. Not the Kennedys.
Though all you had

to do

your antiquated Gaelic
for a Massachusetts
intonation. One kind of rough royalty for
another---

similar?
Ah.

Hyannisport,
Then, the blue shirt
Matches your
Eyes. A Boeing to
Paris an evening in Syracuse a
Road to Albany and

Hyannisport,

darling.
