Home of the Warriors
the garbage cans
look like
stupid robots
no personality
at all
in a ravine of dusty green
grass, big trees
and their roots
busting out of the ground
picnic
tables creating
loneliness
in that shade
and the sound of
basketball shoes
squawking against
asphalt
people are here
but not too many
of course
kids
playing
on all the day-glo equipment
even though the big
sign says
you know
don't
yellow
caution-tape and everything
little kids just
on the slide
and swings
pulling the tape off
throwing it
on the
ground
stomping on it
situated here
behind the firehouse
next to the old
high school
being rebuilt
the football
field and bleachers
and a great big sign
letting everybody
know
that this is
the home
of
the warriors
