Me?
You want me to come and join the crew
kicking the ball into the net
when I have this load of books in my arms
and tests to study for, and lessons for plan for,
and dinner to plan, and dogs to walk and …
and ….
Me?
You want me to come play with you?
I’m so there.
I scream through the fence at anyone on the other side
come play come on
the concrete and wire are screaming too
come pound come on
we all come together for a common
goal
hey!
you!
Can you kick the ball over here?
we have crucial business here on the blacktop
more important than your hurried pace
cell phone in hand
to-do list blinking from the screen
stop,
notice us,
and take yourself out of the digital world
and come play with the real people in the world.

Siblings
On any ordinary day
There is pushing and shoving,
Whining and grousing.
Tempers flare and sometimes
Fists fly.
Today, a wide grin
Replaces the surly stare.
He gazes raptly at
His older brother.
Shouting, cheering,
Reveling in each
Small victory.
Proudly he turns to the
Crowd.
Puffing up his chest he
Declares
“That’s my brother!”
I scream through the fence at anyone on the other side
come play come on
the concrete and wire are screaming too
come pound come on
we all come together for a common
goal
hey!
