children ..

2 young boys walked in today
around 5 a.m. ..

blew my mind
couldn't be more than 12 or 13
12 or 13 and on the street ???? ?  ?
really ?

how do you handle that
rather, how do they handle that   ?

one of them looks like he could be on the way to trouble
like he wants to be a bad dude
flicking his lighter
handling stuff
playin' the game

the other has perfect manners
well-demeanoured

o God ...
what's going on ? ?   ?
