90s Kids

The 90s was a quite a time for me.

As a quiet child.

As a lonely child.

On the tire swing, I could see the world.

Until they stopped inviting me.

And I would play with the rocks and learn about the rocks.

Through books. 

And imagination.

We didn’t have cell phones then.

We had contemplation.

Without distraction,

That technology would eventually bring.

I didn’t have friends.

I had rocks,

And that was all.
