5:04 pm
we all complained about that shabby old neighborhood
with the suspicious vendors along the streets
and the graffitied walls with obscene words
that our parents told us to ignore
we all complained how often the heating broke
and we huddled together in the cold
unsure of when it would be fixed
our parents telling us to hold on just a while longer
we all complained about the smell of smoke
that would seep in through our open windows
when it was 90 degrees hot in the summer
and the crickets kept us up all night
we all complained until we realised on the train
we were never going back
to this old neighborhood
that had become ours
