“Me I want a Hula Hoop” by Vicki &Chuck Rogers

A Cooperative Game

Alice Malach

--

“What does it mean to be cooperative?”

We will listen to each other.
We will accomplish our task by working together.
It is not a race.

Bean bags pass from boy to girl and from girl to boy, their final destination the hoop.

A meteor shower of bean bags, blue, green, red, and yellow.
Hoops fling, scattered across the field.
“Run faster!”

I guess we’ll try again tomorrow.
