The same TVsthat we used to watch movies, where missiles fired.When we were tired, we’d turn it off and go to bed.Heads heavy with math, science, history.We stole the cards from the hall tree.We threw fake hand grenades. How lucky were weto shoot fake guns? Everything was fake.Playing doctor when nothing was at stake.
