Bouncy Ball


Pretty, happy, and soft.

Beautiful, lighthearted, and vulnerable.

Inside and out.

Further and beyond.

Then and now.

Then sunshine lasted forever.

Now moonlight casted in shadows so clever.

Hiding in small places and digging ditches.

Inhaling smoke and drowning in unsatisfactory riches.

Waiting for imperishable attention.

Seeking for answers fastened in abstruse thought.

Hideous, vile, and unbreakable.

Atrocious, ill-mannered, and closed.

Up and down.

Intricate and complex.

Here and now.

Here lasts only an hour.

Now blooming as a flower.

Resisting crawling darkness.

Smiling spotlights of sheer brightness.

Relaxing in fields of daisies.

Tall grass dancing with cucumber spritz.

First walk and last crawl.

Bouncing back from pitfall.

Buoyant until nightfall.
