a reuleaux triangle attached to the ball

the curved aluminum clunk on the heel

with one stomp, i give my power to you

silencing my screams, you yell for me

with every brush and scuff, you sing a song

of an endless symphony

yet, when naked, you move like an animal

a quick pounce, your point sharp,

taking flight, soaring

like a bird turning

from snake to angel back

to a wildebeest hitting the marley-floor

with nothing but a soft patter

your energy escaping back

into the earth ready

for your next adventure
