The boys bunch  in the dark, shift on threaded palm and stones,
a cigarette passes from one small hand to another,<\/span>
a banding together of fingers around fire and ash –<\/span>
affirmation of a tribal pact, rodent eyes veiled in smoke. <\/span>
A voice calls.  “Put that cigarette out!\u201d  They sulk,  tilt on chairs,
cartwheel a dog-end into jasmine, snarl at the film, <\/span>
then rise, faces caught in the flickering light, old and shuttered, <\/span>
balanced on frail, birds\u2019 cages. They are  a feral pack leaving,<\/span>
moving as one, a hunch of waves turning. In the street,<\/span>
they straighten, lords of a famished kingdom, kicking cats. <\/span>
