The houses
with big porches
stood like soldiers
on Marlborough Avenue
until they came
with their under paid jobs
and under lived lives
There were houses here
on Marlborough Avenue
before the poverty
before the low lives
But let it be remembered
that the houses towered like soldiers
how they watched over us
with their beautiful bricks
and steel fences
I never have seen them
but my grandmother said to me
with her big black hips
you aint be forgetin it now"

| This very beautiful and so sad that a neighborhood that was once so proud was broken down. |
