late-nights-sitting-around-a-fire
turned to late-nights-running-through-the-
streets-without-a-care-in-the-world:
and we could have been kidnapped
or killed or murdered on those
boulevards but we became
survivors with summer's
passing and we lived
through the great battle
of the parents
and the attack of
early-hormonal-emotions and we
were champions and heroes
in our own right.
