Quick visual! I'm sitting in the laundry mat waiting patient like for my clothes to go through the cycle. I've got my headsets on listening to 'Yield'. There was a woman there with about 5 kids and they're just running all over the place but that doesn't bother me of course. I had already started this poem a few days ago... Well I sat down with all my poetry stuff in my notebook and took a peek at what I had. Then I started adding on until I couldn't add anymore without repeating.. So I sat there like a moron thinking, "Well, now what do I call it?" All of a sudden, POW! A cart runs over my foot with a little munchkin steering it. It didn't hurt me thanks to my shoes... I'm glad I didn't wear my sandles though... and then the title hit me! 'Children At Play'.
Sunlit places,
Nameless faces,
Working forever
'round.

Decorate laces,
Stinging maces,
A little over-
wound.

Faster races,
Slower paces,
Always breathless
bound.

Touched bases,
Random aces,
New luck
found.

Shattered vases,
Free oasis,
Water from the
ground.

Empty spaces,
Headcases,
Never make a
sound.
