#98 small town

friday night
8 o'clock
kids dropped off 
two blocks from their friends
as if parents don't exist
or hiding the decade-old family car

they meet
in fields
under bridges
at playgrounds
by quiet streetlight

hours later
chewing chocolate bars
masking smell
chatty with parents 
but trying not to breathe
