Why Not Sprinklers

I walked on the damp grass Bare foot. The sprinklers shooting And giving. A sight of running Through them and Im Alive. I thought sidened friends and You. For If we ever dipped, we should have dove. You turned back at the grassy ridge. Forward came only in dragging. But I saw the light reflect rainbows. I saw it all , u never bothered To even peer. I was silly. I wanted to carry you through sprinklers And watch rainbows. But you ran, on sneakers, the other way.
