children,
no fences,
no boundary, no yard
to keep
us in.
no cage.
we were free
to venture out wherever
we wanted
to go.
just be home by dark,
our mother would say
from the screen door,
or kitchen window.
stay out of trouble,
be careful
when crossing the highway,
take your brother with you,
and if it starts raining
don't go into the storm drains.
