Summer Street Scene

On Hawthorne Street, between Flatbush and Bedford, all of the girls sit outside of a house on the South side of the street and call across the street to the boys where they (laze luxuriately as the slender black boys of Summer generally do) call to them from an apartment building on the North side of the street between laughter and the sound of skateboard wheels on asphalt.

I do not believe that I was ever young like this and I doubt that they believe that they will ever be old like me.
