PRPG Returns

Returns

Do you remember collecting
pop bottles when you were a kid?
Going from door to door
to neighbor’s houses.
Getting a few cents each.
My friend and I did this.
We bought plastic sheeting
and thumb tacks
and built a cabin in the woods.
One night, she, my sister and I
slept in our cabin.
In the middle of the night
we had to find a board
to place at the bottom,
because we built it on a slope
and we kept sliding down.
There was a cliff not far off.
Later some boys wrecked our creation.
Though their parents made them apologize,
we never rebuilt.
