Joyous Clique

Sandals slapping the pavement
in a staccato chorus of carefree
presence, they make their way
up the street, voices pitched
high on the ecstasy of a sunny
summer day, free to do as they
wish and what better way than
together, a small platoon of
smiley-face teens, hair lustrous
and loose in the calming breeze,
chatting, chattering, giggling and
so very much entertained and
enthralled with the vibrancy and
unknown potentials in life.
