holding hop scotch chalk and pebbles lightly in hand.
We stare up and the clouds dusty
with unused lightning and waiting water,
but then forget for hours at a time
our looming tragedy, sticky and dense.
Instead we mock and mimic,
laughing with credulous mirth in skips and stumbles,
engrossed in scratchy lines
and the exact precision of throwing rocks.
