On Poetry Sunday, Mary E. Cronin reads her poem, "Running in Flip Flops."
Mary says, "In Running in Flip Flops I'm trying to capture the way that Cape Cod kids inhabit their world with confidence and ease. So many people come to visit and enjoy this beautiful place. But Cape Cod kids? They own it."
