DISTANCE RUN

Brightly colored spinning tops

Daylong laughter and lollipops

Kite-high unanchored hopes

Scattered jacks and jumping ropes

Tangled town and touchstone

Bed and board and telephone

Battered heart and buttered bread

Folly, fear, and fountainhead

Tabletop tears or winner’s boast

Echoes drowning in tea and toast

Kaleidoscope and covenant

Mystic moment and monument

Run, fox, run geese! Run sheep, run!

Hear cry BARBAREE and the game is done.
