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.
