the bouncing ball

the kids
out front are bouncing
a ball.
incessantly.
boys and girls.
they aren't
playing a game.
as far as you
can tell.
no one is counting,
or screaming.
there are no
bases.
no goal lines
or baskets
with which to
shoot the ball in.
they are just
content to
chat amongst
themselves and bounce
the ball.
kids have changed
it seems,
or they have grown
beyond
their years,
passing you by
completely.
