The Neighborhood

This one is still a work in progress. Kind of mashed up a couple different ideas I had and I'm working on integrating them better.

Running through the yards

The quickest way to meet

We travelled like a herd

Collecting more friends

Annoying more mothers

Yes, we will be safe

 

Danny got hurt

I didn’t do it

The group is reduced

They can’t play anymore

Let’s find something else to do

 

Endless ideas

Life was a playground

Fake guns never hurt anyone

But being out of the game may have hurt just as bad

We were undefeated against time

 

The sun dips below the tree line

One by one

Everyone gets called home

Running through the yards

Our herd was disbanded by nightfall

The only thing that could stop our youth

Protected us from the real world

 

I stand in these yards now

Danny is a doctor now

Most people are gone

Others drifted away

Rifts became personal

 

The world slowed down

And we did too

But years blended together

Faster than our relatives could remember

Only the trees remained

 

I sometimes wonder

What walk of life are they on right now

Do we ever look at the moon?

Do we ever do it at the same time?

Do we think of each other when we do it?

Will anyone ever come back to the neighborhood

Because I never left

It’s my home
