Volleyball

Volleyball

Was my class’s game.

We played it all six years

In beating heat sweating,

Or in slushy mud rain

And all free hours.


His eyes near the net would

Follow mine before I set to serve

It would give me the power

To get it over.


It was friendly. When it

Mattered I didn’t play. Just

Watch or read with Aaku,

Su, Pri, Pro, Niki, Peeni, Hemal,

Amu and Jyo squealing or

Calling in the background.


Here I am, watching the dynamic

Game in college, my new class

Playing.
