Some kids I played with, when they hid,
were never found again.
Our chairs would always disappear
until there were only two of us
fighting for one seat.
When we would run out of food to eat,
some would die of hunger
while others, they would choose instead
to choke on marbles.
The grown-ups always forbid
tag and all its relatives
in case one of us tripped.
Those who refused to jump rope
would later hang by one.
