A glimpse of a teen down-town, and I wonder what he’s doing,

CITY CENTRE

a boy walks through
pooled street lights                          IMG_7811.9.16.15.blog

his nails
ready to be bitten

he shrinks invisibility
in town hall shadow

police car slows corner
on his way to wife   kids
mortgage    cut lawn
