growing up and out

some made it out,
some didn't.
some graduated
from beer
to wine,
to mary jane,
and beyond, wrapping
a band around
their arm
to find a vein.
most that went that
far, i never saw
again.
i like to think of them
before that.
on the street
with a bat and glove,
hat on,
and smiling
for the camera as
we played stick ball.
