when she whistled

the girl kid
in the old neighborhood.
part girl
part boy.
pony tail with muscles.
legs of steel,
could whistle.
two fingers
in her mouth and she'd
let out a shriek
across the hot
summer street where
our Olympic games would
begin. kick ball
stick ball.
football, hide and
seek.
sometimes we'd
hide together and never
be found.
