Step outside
Runs cold gentle breeze, ‘cross face and fist
Walk downstairs, ball to play
Meet a dog
Scramble up hill; chilly park
Swing on swings,
Dangle from trees.
Kneel down, slacken knot secure
Climb over fence
Traipse across portrait, painted, ‘pon ground
Dawdle back to ‘home sweet home’
Freedom over
Playtime done
