over the cracked
footpath, he spreads
his time-frozen
wares unawares
of childhood now
arrested indoors,
TV, computer,
cell phone drone,
no mango trees
to aim at, the
playgrounds
have gone concrete,
trudge home
catapult seller,
the market for
such simple pleasures,
now obsolete...
Catapult - A plaything consisting of a Y-shaped stick with elastic between the arms; used to propel small stones (WordWeb dictionary)
