secret sales
were a form of victimization
  outside the purview of parental control
somehow I got back -
 I have the Marx SuperBall™ with your initials scratched in it
tough love
 I mean tough luck!
 Once I found a gumball in a box of marbles
I remember hitting that superball with a bat at Almond Avenue.
I hit it over "the hill" from the diamond near the entrance.
 the almonds were these giant green fuzzy things
 until the green part dried up and fell off in the fall
we used sit in the trees and eat almonds
