The picnic table is a boat
Or a diving board
Or a mountain top
One sister climbs up
Shuffles her toes to the edge
The other sister is behind her
A small stick in hand
She pushes as the other jumps
Down onto the grass
Both feet stick the landing
Then gravity takes over
she tumbles back onto her bottom
Smiling
She quickly stands up
Runs back around to the side of the table
And takes the stick from her sister
It is her turn to jump
Or be pushed
This repeats
And repeats
And repeats
When they come in
I ask the name of the game
They were playing
Pirates?
Swimming?
Super cliff diver?
Super heroes?
No
Push and jump
