Walls are made to keep grown-ups out.
Every one of us
kids knew that.
We dug holes under, climbed over,
and sliced through
every single wall
in our neighborhood. It gave us
flexibility. There were
times
when we got scolded by old men
or threatened with guard dogs and
police.
But it was all worth it the day
we raced across two city
blocks
to Stephanie's house before Mom
got her pick-up unto the
street.
