Boypacks,
Thundering hormone tribes,
Limb-fidgets,
Night congregants
At the Church of Wawa
And the Shrine of Krispy Kreme
Stake out their territory.
Gangling gangbanger wannabes
Smell of soap and sweat
Awkward in their grown-up skins
Milling, lazing,
Talking boldly of sex and car keys
Impatient
For the rest of their lives.
