in the shallow pond
tail feathers dance
as he pretends to ignore
the noise around him
Teenage ducklings
miniature versions of mom
with downy feathers
that still say
it's not quite time to fly
Classic playground
a tall metal slide
that burns
the back of your legs
in the summer sun
The merry go round
that so far survives
our declaration of dangerous things
still sharing the joy
of spinning for hours on end
