ten
maybe twelve
we found a gas mask in the woods
and took it to the police station
in case someone had lost it.
This was the seventies
with war films on television
where the Allies always won
and we were far too young
with the wonder of innocents
to suspect this was an asphyxiation toy
from a progressive New Man.
