The bouncing ball catches a spindle star
downup, Jack snatches too, downup.
Mustn’t let it roll.
The checkers leap 2 forward
side
then back.
Haphazard scotch.
Shrills, squeals, private childspeak:
Knocknock Whosthere Your Markset Go,
Hide & seek — Ready? Not?
Blind your eyes, no one sees you.
Knocknock, “Whosthere?” Shhhhhhh
Simon’s speaking,
shhhhhhh,
Time’s up, “Ready? Not?”
under over hind through —
Simon’s found you.
