The street was usual enough;
It had an abandoned house, a rundown bike, a stray dog
And rubbish spread across the streets.
My sister, my cousin and I did what
Filipinos do - wandered the streets,
played hide and seek in empty houses,
ran through the tall grass patch, and swam in cold water.
played hide and seek in empty houses,
ran through the tall grass patch, and swam in cold water.
Doing nothing important.
