tn empty court in the breeze
the ball is bouncing without a soul
an empty net against a pole
the ball on his knees
with nothing aloft
and no one outside
the empty court
with no one aboard
but wait!
its no too late
when the bell rings
and the birds sing
the people pour out
the kids start to play
they play all day
the empty court
is not empty anymore
