socially distant

we were
        Red light
        Green light
we were sand & gravel
        stuck in scabby knees
crisscross applesauce
         chalk dust
         under our fingernails
you saw my panties
you showed me your secret weapon
         when I said—
          Red Rover
          Red Rover
         you tackled me in the green grass
          Over &
          Over
you kissed me hard,
          once
 

then claimed I
            gave you
                              cooties

            we’ve never spoken
            again.
