Massachusetts

"I will remember Massachusetts"
--The Bee Gees, 1967
They sang about the lights
going out in Massachusetts.
On November 18, 2003,
the lights turned on there--
I can marry Stan
by Provincetown's lighthouse. Wow,
America's dark cave
lets in a little light--oh,
pink roses I see, faintly,
from its entrance.
