The Sounds of My Everyday World
Listen! Do you hear?
The trampoline springs when you jump
creak like a baby crying softly.
Do you hear?
The bars are silent when you do a skill;
but if you miss,
the bar rings like a telephone.
Do you hear?
The beam when you land a trick
thuds like a book being dropped.
Do you hear?
the floor when you dance
croaks like frogs.
Do you hear?
The vault runway when you sprint
sounds like pitter-patter, pitter-patter.
