Summertime Lost 2020

SUMMERTIME LOST 2020 aubade August, lost senses of summertime games — marco polo deaf 8/4/2020 A player, designated It, closes his eyes for a set number of seconds while opposing players disperse in the pool. It, with eyes closed, then swims around the pool, attempting to tag the other players. It may detect the presence of others by feeling around with his limbs, or by sound, calling out “Marco!” The other players, regardless of their location, must respond, “Polo!” When the It player succeeds in tagging another player, the latter becomes It.

So many things lost this summer... Hope they are kept alive in the mind's memory and return eventually... We'll see.

That last line sums up the silence at our pools this summer. Sad time.
