So
there we were
bare assed on the beach
ripping each other to shreds
ha
because boys do that
I expect girls do that too

we
were cruel to each other
but there was no one to teach us
and why would they bother?

kids
growing up
knowing nothing
but the freedom of
being

and then suddenly
it's twenty twenty-three
sixty years passed by me
and I hardly felt the breeze.
