PARADE CANDY FLUNG BY GIRLS IN PRETTY DRESSES
children dart like fish,
grabbing at those sweet kissings
of summer color.
thirteen-year-old boys
shuffle uncomfortably
and watch waving girls.
boys: too old to chase
a piece of roadside candy,
too young for kissing,
but desiring both.
they kick at stones in the street.

oh, mckenzie, you are too kind. i just have way too much time on my hands and a deep affinity for all things aesthetically pleasing.
