Hide and Seek MAG
As the numbers count down
We scatter the ground,
Searching for the best places to hide.
Some dive beneath the kitchen table,
Others huddle in dark corners
Pretending they aren’t able
To be seen.
I know better, I’ve played this game before,
Running to the hallway closet
Peeking through the blinds on the door.
The places where you can see but can’t be seen
Are the places that will get you far.
And as I watch the others being called out,
I refuse to be found.
I hold my breath and try not to breathe aloud
And for a brief moment I am undiscovered,
A mystery to all
But I slip
And he looks me straight in the eye
Right through the blinds
And as the door opens wide,
I am found once again.
