I was talking to <br />An old neighbor <br />At the supermarket- <br /> <br />What was small talk <br />Turned into a more <br />Serious chat- <br /> <br />'The children in <br />Our neighborhood <br />Don't play outside <br />Anymore, ' the elderly woman cried- <br /> <br />'I know, it's sad, ' I replied- <br /> <br />'In my day, <br />We would be <br />Outside with the <br />Water hose- <br />Spraying each other- <br />The boys would play <br />Stick ball in the street
