the half moon scar

the kid
who put the firecracker
into the coke
bottle
is a grown man now
but when I
see the half moon scar
on his lip
I can't help
but remember that day
he lit the fuse
and watched
it blow.
the glass shards
raining down
on all of us.
did he lose his courage
from that point
on. is he
different now?
it doesn't matter.
some things you can
never on from.
