Places We Might Go

I was reading Yankee and thinking there is a place to go or something we might see.  They are the places that do not interest the boys and things they would see only out of politeness.  If I ask they do not say "no," but the most enthusiasm they can muster is "maybe," or one of those psychologist-sounds signifying they heard, but can offer no commitment beyond that.  It is all right since they are not so often the "we" of these thoughts.  It is instead "we" as I wish it might be -- as I assumed it would be all those years ago when we were together and what seemed only a beginning had the end already in sight.
