Hi, @311Somerville! There’s a dead rat at the community path under the Lowell St overpass.

Oh, and a pretty good sized pothole in front of 124 Highland Ave!

Hi, @311Somerville! We’ve got some road pizza (rat flavor) in front of 91 central st. Could you schedule a pick up, please?

Twitter can die now. This is the moment I’ve been waiting to share with the community here and it is almost as good as I could have hoped.

May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

I sit in one of the dives
On Fifty-second Street
Uncertain and afraid
As the clever hopes expire
Of a low dishonest decade:
Waves of anger and fear
Circulate over the bright 
And darkened lands of the earth,
Obsessing our private lives;

Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
