Small Boys In Maine

Small boys in Maine wear jackets in summer late spring search for bugs and take nature walks digging, turning over logs, sticking to trails ankle deep in freezing water fishing shaking not getting out small boys in Maine love the ride to town in the pickup love the berries and the ice house its cold here all winter, townspeople tell them so could you cant imagine they are thoughtful like the north pole worse the old man growls and poor Santa aint got whisky to make it through ride back bonfire picnic on the beach cold waves running up and down they swoop back for a bite of food we drink coffee watch their childhood hold hands
