NOW CLOSING

In Davis Square
Johnny D's Uptown
carefully read my lines
now it's closing down
now at T.T. the Bear's
BZ's plays were on
the 1990's now are all gone,
so I'll walk by the university
as in"Left out in the Rain"
playing his
 "One day at Paris's Grill"
now over the bridge
to the Common
lest we forget to remember
"Cambridge Quartet,"
is a last swan near M.I.T.
where we put on"The Other Side"
at the time of the Marathon
how time tunes to wind us up
and then like Sam Adam's beer
runs away down our cup.
