Amid the controlled chaos on
the playground
the gathering of children
before school
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
under a summer sky of blue
at the very start of the school
year
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,
snaking a path through the
others
giggling, shouting, laughing
all the way
