Fall 1995
Hamilton and Cambridge, Massachusetts
It is elsewhere, elsewhere, the neighborhood you seek.
The neighborhood you long for,
where the gentle trolley—ding, ding—passes
through, where the adults are kind
and, better, sane,
that neighborhood is gone, no, never
existed, though it should have
and had a chance once…
—Thomas Lux, “The Neighborhood of Make-Believe”
