nothing to do

we would linger
at the counter
of the five and dime,
our feet not
touching the floor,
sipping
cokes through straws,
nibbling
maybe
on a grilled cheese
sandwich,
reading comic books
until the manager
came by
and shooed us out.
it was summer, it was
raining, there
was not much else
to do,
having seen the current
movie already
at the local bijou.
