Ribbons of Children – v2



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
