A Natural Boyhood a Memory

school was out
      vacation touched our gate
long days  
           bedtimes late
time
    routines 
              we relegate

bird nesting
         climbing trees
building dens      adultless
scenes
picnics and make-believe
imagination-filled 
                          dreams

unsupervised
         wandering free
adventures 
        sans boundary
no cares      no chore
natural boyhood 
        ...to the core
