She plays black, then blue, then green and red and yellow,
Then translucent and impatient;
Messy and aggravated.
She fumbles,
Then runs full speed -
Touches the wall
and back again towards you.
Spread arm'd and clinched fist'd.
Clinched teeth and mismatched socks.
Haphazard hair and ****** complexion.
You slit eyes and wink and shine on oh great shining thing,
Until the dust of her lay at your feet.

She plays black, then blue, then green and red and yellow,
Then translucent and impatient;
Messy and aggravated.
She fumbles,
Then runs full speed -
Touches the wall
and back again towards you.
Spread arm'd and clinched fist'd.
Clinched teeth and mismatched socks.
Haphazard hair and ****** complexion.
You slit eyes and wink and shine on oh great shining thing,
Until the dust of her lay at your feet.
