                          My childhood playground had no grass
                          A patchwork of asphalt, pea gravel, and stone
                          That did not stop us – we wanted to play and play …
                          And then to play some more
                          Who cared about skinning a knee or even breaking a bone
 
                          Every afternoon -- and every weekend, we were there
                          Baseball, basketball, football – (w)reckless … without a care
                          No adults, no umpires – pick sides … let’s just play
                          Wild, free, carefree – not virtual, but real-time … all day
 
                          My playground, OUR playground – without any grass
                          Meet me there for a pick-up game, right after school
                          Five against five, or six on seven – we are playing way past dark
                          Rain, Sunshine, Snow, Sunset – Night’s shadows –
                                                            I really … cannot wait … to go back
