Dinosaur Park

Tomoyuki scales the nets
Of the prehistoric jungle gym;
Caleb drops through the tunnel
To escape becoming "It."
I am "Ramen,"
Blonde perm bouncing
As I take to the slide standing up,
Jumping off midway
To tag Andrew
Who skids across the dirt,
Then darting back
Up the ladder,
Lunges for Hidemi's legs.

The neighborhood drunk
Rides past,
Wobbling on his bicycle.
We gather and snicker
"Deta, deta!"
I boldly claim
Once witnessing
As he urinated through
His apartment window.
