A promotional free car wash
Just about to expire
A treat for an all-about-cars boy
Loud thrumming
Soapy violence
Wet chaos
Stunned boy
And then - can we do it again?
A day in the park
Waiting for Dad at meeting
Park picked carefully near a library
To fill in the hours
Only we never went inside.
Splash pad, playground and field untouched
Focus all in the ground
"Clay" found under the sand
Of the volleyball court.
What with
Excavation
Collection
Preparation
Production
and
Presentation
There wasn't any time for
the Splash pad - except to wet the clay -
the play ground
the field
the library
or lunch - except under duress -
3 hours in the sun
And we still managed
to arrive at our friends' house for supper
in a fairly presentable state!
(As long as you didn't look too closely
at the handfulls of sand hiding in
Jasmin's hair
Grace's pocket
Aiden's ears.)
It certainly helped that they too
had spent the afternoon
on sand at the beach.
