under the wire in the dry dirt
then crawl
through wide
patches of melons
watered
in rainbow
rows beneath
the august sun.
nearly half our size
we each would
twist a melon
free from the vine.
then run.
looking back,
despite our Catholicism,
there's
no guilt,
no regret or shame,
just a sense
of childish fun.
