Central Avenue

actually it wasn't a sad time when they paved the street where I lived I liked to see the works and the machinery in full swing workers installed cement posts and every thirty meters the lamps made the night shine it took a little while for the lumberyard he played in turn into a supermarket then they threw down the courtyard fence and then the pear tree was felled soon the street got too busy I was banned from riding around on my old bike could no longer play among the piles of wood that after all were my ships my mountains and my castles in the air no more pear candy and to this day I still have that flavor in my memory. but it was only later that i realized that something very serious was happening something that would make anyone cry: the fireflies all disappeared jokes and games in the street no way all my great and eternal friends are gone and with them my childhood said goodbye leaving, never to return.

Thank you, Kim. I couldn't expect other words from someone who seems to be as kind and full of wisdom as you are. The facts narrated in this text actually occurred in my childhood and, as you know, memories are the main barn from which writers get their ideas and words.
