we had real fireworks,
none of this lame
junk they sell now.
no way.
we had tight little bars of TNT,
red and grey tubes
of explosives
with little black fuses
that could
blow things up.
and yes,
there were a few kids
with missing fingers
and eyes,
scarred for life with
busted teeth and jaws,
never again mentally
quite right,
but oh what fun
we had
when a coke bottle,
or a watermelon blew up,
or when you
put a few of them into
a big blue mailbox.
