Somewhere to keep the words that refuse to stay in my head
My friend wasn’t a bad kid
Bad kids stole money from their mom’s purse
Bad kids did hard drugs
Bad kids had unprotected sex
Bad kids always got into fights
Boys will be boys, my friend said
His son only smoked a little grass
He only painted a little graffiti
He only drank a little beer
On his way home from a party
He only crossed the white line a little bit
But his girlfriend is more than a little dead
Because he wasn’t a bad kid
An exploration of writing and reading

As writers, our greatest hope is that one person understands and reacts to what we have to say. Hopefully my grandchildren will remember this someday when temptation strikes.
