An excerpt Local Boys We practised dying, The local boys and I, Contorting in Untouchable Shadows, falling over board fences, Jerking, twisting in pain on weedful Lawns, practising for the big contest. "Let's find out who can Die best!" The Eliot Ness of 27th Avenue, The boy with the Tommy Gun, yelled: "Ratatatatatata!" He fired gleefully At a "Valentine's Day" line up Of Olivier-performers Scattering like bats. Sometimes I won, and that was A great day, to die, twitching in the sun, Better than all the other boys.
