Amid the controlled chaos
the living “Where’s Waldo”
poster
the schoolyard, playground
this morning
ribbons of children,
running, skipping,
dancing over the blacktop, together
being children, free, out in
the open air
snaking their way, through
the hopscotch
the jump rope, the tag and
the banter
coursing, like ants to the
nest
following a scent line in
the dust
no hands were held,
but they moved together
as if connected, giggling
and
a ribbon of children,
moving,
laughing all the way
