the game we play
there is no scoreboard
in the game, we play
no red cards
no suspensions
no penalties
no fouls
we are not tripping each other up
mischievous and naughty
tender and sensual
joyful and fun
and rough at times
tied up maybe
though never tied down
cheerleading each other
we make the rules
out of bounds
we reign each other in
but if you lose
I lose
if you win
I win
if you score
I score
facing each other on the field
exposing, showing up and honouring ourselves
the most courageous
are you game to play?
