​

In the not-so-distant future

Those big intersections

With the thick white lines

Forming a square

With crosswalks for sides

Will be sacred playgrounds.

Children and adults alike

Will play, run, race

From corner to corner.

A ritual game will emerge in which

the beautiful ones will skip

Demonstrating their best skipping form

from corner to corner.

Whoever is the most flaming, flamboyant,

fancifully fabulous skipper.

They shall win.
