like leaping into a sea of green.The tall grass,probably just weeds,with butterflies gathering around,smells
clean and fresh,and I wonder why I'm the only one who's thankful for this place.
One evening,Mama said,"Tia,the city wants to turn that corner of yours into a parking lot."I stopped in

Corner of 71st"was the title of the article,and along with it was a picture of me!
