Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

I noticed her standing there,
leaning into his ear, to share a little secret
focused on their conversation, from afar
remembering, now, the moments before
she skipping, running, sliding across the playground
in my peripheral vision, from the left
diving to a stop, to his ear
What must have been so important
so urgent, at five years old, at 7:43am
needing to be exchanged, the hand-off deftly done
parting quickly, the spy and her handler
he now with a grin, from ear to ear,
she across the blacktop
to quarry more juice
