flying kites

walking past the schoolyard
saw a dad with a li'l girl
trying to fly a kite
while mom ran the vidcam

i'm a few yrs past
chasing kites thru muddy fields
and a couple of my kite flyers
have kite flyers of their own now

i wanted to tell the cat
"give it more string and run with it!"
but i resisted the urge --
let him figure it out on his own
