A girl and a boy,
sitting on a rock.
A rock on a little island.
An island surrounded
by a driveway moat.
A gravel driveway
leading to a house.
A house sitting on 13 acres.
Acres of land
sitting next to a road.
A girl and a boy,
watching cars go by.
A road leading to a road
that leads to a town.
A town with people, with jobs, in stores.
A town in a county,
a county in a state.
A state in a country.
A country going to war.
Millions of mothers mourning millions of sons.
A girl and a boy,
Maybe a mother,
always a son.
But for now they're just-
A girl and a boy.
Sitting on a rock.
