Sea to Sea

from Sea To Sea
the ball is tossed
back and forth
hot potato, who will win
Catch, or
Dodge, or you’ll
Cough
refuse the lifejacket
i can swim, some say
no, no! I think in despair
numbers don’t lie-
only orange people do

from Sea To Sea
the ball is tossed
back and forth
the stains of red
the stains of blue
cannot mask what comes for you
Catch, or
Dodge, or you’ll
Cough
stop this yelling, it’s not a game

from Sea To Sea
the ball is tossed
back and forth
guns abound, in your face
proclaims of safety for the human race
Catch, or
Dodge, or you’ll
Cough
all these children don’t play by the rules

from Sea To Sea
the ball is tossed
back…
