One hannabuddah day, we go– Me, Joey Chang-a-lang, Junior, and his sistah Linda. Joey and Junior take turns puffen candy cigarettes and hitten each othah in da boto, while Linda tells me bout her records, da ones she sings wen she stay alone in her room. "I wanna hold your ha-an-and," She smiles. Wen we get there, Junior and Joey argue ovah baseball cards and crack seed, tomoe ame, and ten cent mystery bags. I buy Linda shave ice and we sit outside by da carousel, my eyes on Junior, fingers barely touching behind our backs.
