Grassy Field
April 14, 2012
Running,
Fleeing,
Wind in ears,
Feet flatten grass,
It springs back up,
Just to be flattened once more.
The fence is too close,
A sharp, hazardous turn.
Now feet hit the sidewalk,
Loud slaps echo out,
Only to be absorbed by,
Other runners in the field.
Slowing down, tired,
They're gaining too quick!
A final sprint? No!
A touch on the back!
A tired laugh falls from lips,
It mingles with that of pursuer.
And as it dies down, comes the words,
"You're it."
