the ball…

i threw a ball at the wall

it bounced back to me

i threw a ball on the ground

it bounced up and down…

.

i threw it one more time

in a manner away from me

it bounced so many times

’till they were small and low

.

 away it rolled as speed slowed down

 slowly and slowly like a sloth

as it zeroed its rate of motion

gravity sucked it down and stopped…
