THE SIDEWALK: MY JOURNEY AROUND THE BLOCK
Project 2  •  No. 24

Walking Around My Childhood

I have lived in this area my whole life. 
I roam the sidewalks reminiscing about my childhood—
revisiting the  joy in an autumn leaf, a tiny acorn, the watercolor bark of 
a sycamore, and the challenge of a hopscotch board (I was quite good back in my day)
Sometimes the joy of a balloon would slip through my fingers, forever lost, 
but I always knew I could seek comfort at home. 
Some people gamble seeking wealth, but my riches are right here.
