Greatest Generation @ the History Center

The lense of childhood

Recreates its own history.

The days were longer

The snow deeper

The sun hotter

And the stars

Actually may have appeared brighter

Due to less city glare.

The walk to school

Seemed to go on for miles.

Between the blocks

Was such an adventure.

Imagining what was behind

Lace curtains.

Chasing through hedge shortcuts.

Hopscotching down the sidewalk.

It seemed forever between houses.

Nine blocks included

All the laughs, secrets and dreams

We shared

In the short space and time

Of our nine year old history.
