14 year old with two friends on bikes outside the Wawa on Germantown Ave

"I'm nonplussed", he says
and I turn my head
stopped at the light
on my way to Brewer's Outlet
The light turns
and so I only catch
their faces, not laughs
that must have followed
It still happens
once in a while
you pick up a word
and wield it triumphantly
