5 YEAR OLD CONFIDENCE
What a confident boy M was..
at the age of 5 leading
his entire class out of
his classroom when the teacher
was out of the room..
down the fire escape..
across the street
.. into Central Park..
.. willing to disobey the
entire authority chain
because
he wanted to escape
with his friends

STIFLED SONGS
The hissing bombs took away
birdsong, children's happy
shouts, and the incomparable
notes of the violin.
