Be Heard With Your Wanting
Boys just keep coming
they fall from the sky
three now, all mixed together
twisted and writhing.
Hands reach and grab for it
a new Thing wanted every few minutes
Mario stuck in a power-up stance
Lighting McQueen with worn red paint.
The smallest, still struggling, without solid words
sits squished between two much more seasoned pros
begins to exert himself in singular spirit
with a scream loud enough to be the one, the only.

I love how you delineate the three boys even you’ve twisted them. Great job!
Such rich description–conjures images of my three grandsons.
I only delight with you in your treasures.
I love this.
So much joyful activity. Your imagery makes it easy to visualize what is happening.
“seasoned pros” made me smile
