The street was paved last week.
The street on which my house dwells was paved last week.
The street on which the majority of my childhood took place was paved last week,
And I will never again see
The spraypaint
“Step on a crack
Break your momma’s back.”
That’s what they’d chant,
All the kids on the block.
We’d go around on tiptoes
Avoiding the fractures;
Like walking on glass.
It meant so much to us,
Walking down the street,The cold and cracked pavement,Avoiding the glares of the people that we see everyday.Just the same old faces,In the same old places,Doing the same damn thing,
