Gunshots In My Neighborhood

Kansas City is over her head with joy First the Royals won the World Series Now the Chiefs have conquered the Super Bowl. We are comparing stories. What we were eating. How hard we were yelling. How long we heard fireworks on Sunday. One twenty-six a.m. I told them with pure happiness. That's nothing one of our favorite female busdrivers said. In my neighborhood we can't afford fireworks. I heard automatic rifles going off until two-thirty-two a.m. She obviously won the one-upmanship contest.

This is true! And the neighborhood she was speaking of is where the school is.
