53: recreation
I loved those recreation
sites
In boyhood—all those playgrounds, parks.
They seemed but one of childhood’s rights—
And there were all the lights and darks
Of childhood. Friends and bullies reigned—
A kind of life for us writ small
Where things were done but not explained—
Where things made sense—or not at all.
In memory I often do
A recreation of those sites—
I think they help me travel through
These troubling days, these darkening nights.
