Trampoline

Princesses, princesses
jumping, jumping

superheroes, superheroes
bouncing, bouncing.

The trampoline pulsates
contracting, expanding

chubby baby legs
sitting then standing.

A little girl loses
a purple sock,

it flips like a fish
on a wooden dock.

A pink fish, blue fish,
yellow fish pair,

naked little feet
and disheveled hair.

Shrieking and giggling
a girl and boy,

how perfect a moment-
the taste of true joy!
