Double-helix

Children drowning in the ballpit at the McDonald's
with their hands stuck out towards
the fluorescent lights
While their parents are daydreaming about
being held in sticky traffic;
With their ice-cream stained sweaters,
and their phantom childhoods.
They don't believe in the Boogeyman anymore,
even though they ask themselves if they should.
