Fourth of July
a teenager crosses
against the light

[I wish all my friends a glorious fourth. The fourth of July may not be a holiday where you are, but I hope it's glorious, anyway.]

rebelling youngster
making hos own decisions --

Too many words, but this is not supposed to be a poem but a short comment!

Happy independent day!
