|line|

dancing in between
back and forth
like chinese jump rope
a limbo you are trying to glide under
and not scrape your knees

recess is made of so many lines
the line to get outside
the line to get back in
red rover red rover
the up and downs of the see-saws
drawing with chalk
the future hopscotch

boundaries that we now play with
before you had to respect

the integrity of the game is at stake
don’t jump the gun just yet
