deciding our future through dodge ball

it wasn't so much
as learning,
as it was
weeding us out
in school.
deciding what we
wouldn't become.
we found out early that
we weren't meant
to be a mathematician,
or a scientist,
a biologist,
or economist.
what we were best at
was playing
in the playground.
improving our
skills at
tether ball,
track and field,
dodge ball and what not.
and so here
we are 
lacing up our sneakers
and going
for another run.
