a glimpse into this brain of mine

Lacrosse

I feel the rush of april wind

streaming 'cross my face

my lucky lax stick in my hand

the yellow ball on its tiny race

to get to the goal is one thing, you know

one thing on its own

but to make it in

to score

to win

is another all together

with parents screaming "Dinos"

for that is our team name

we sometimes get confused

about the point of the game

its about the kids

the fun

the lessons learned literally

"at the stick"

adults get annoyed

they yell

when we make small mistakes

ive seen kids

on other teams

get smacked

 for missing a goal

that's not, adults

what lax is for

its for teamwork

fun

and friendships made

not how many goals went in

maybe adults

should play youth sports

with kids as refs and the coach

for them to get a taste

a glimpse

of how stressful it can be
