we often
wandered away from home
to go
explore the woods,
abandoned
buildings,
crawl through storm
drains
when the heavy
rains came.
we trekked across
thin ice
on the river,
we stole watermelons
from the farm,
ears of corn,
strawberries.
we fished with a can
of worms,
built fires, we talked
sports,
and told lies to one
another
about girls.
we were missing from
dawn to dusk.
but usually home for
dinner,
if there was one.
