Oak Lawn, 1976 (When the World was New)

CEE

There was a long woodland path
Which led from past the roundball court
Surrounded as tunnel, in most weather
It’d spit me out, 50 yards from East Peoria
I walked it, many times
More often, I repaired to a hideaway
Cut out, large, off left, by teens
I used it as my changing room
And would disrobe and wander woods
And openly as well, on path
...we, each, have a single breath, as free...
I would peer, sprite, down to cars on US 150
Explore deep into deepening Spring green
Sometimes, even nearing civilization
Mindful to stay, safe, in my Walden of Me;
One time, afar off, I spied an older boy
A teen, on course down the path
Superman, I was fast to garbed Clark Kent
If the teen saw (I’ve always known he did)
With respect, he did not betray it,
He took me to the place the olders sat
The place of ritual, of “getting high”
I had lapsed into owl-like polite
Wanting for him to be gone
Desiring nothing of idiot ingestion, no
Idiot, Other-based I Am,
I wanted to be alone in what was by then
Burgeoning, Thick Spring Green
Breathe, as free yet safe, never known about
But for some motorist, when next gassing up
Shaking head, telling attendant about
The damnedest thing
