Poem # 86- Ball

I threw the ball
And passed it to another
For the distance, it didn't matter
Hoping for a player to pass it back to me.

It's such a long way!
The ball zoomed down by a far
I'm still waiting, evidently free
You know, hoping for them to pass it back to me.

Till I'm too tired of waiting
And walked not a mere distance
Only to find out for my brittle being—
The ball that I threw just a minute.

It was left unnoticed— degraded
And as I watch the player playing another ball
Which here I am, an idiot who's hoping it'll pass back to me
And not just my entertainment was gone—

But also my whole being.
