TENNIS COURT CONTINUES

tennis court activities continue

a direct relationship between increasing sunshine
and more bare chested young men chasing tennis
balls across the courts

some games continue in high spirits
others sound very earnest indeed
long rallies, when the pock sound of tennis
ball fails, a loud comment or deadly silence

the tennis court is quite a centre for socialising
a uni break is coming up, marked by picnics on the
grass in the afternoon, lengthening into the evening

a gathering sometimes goes well into the night
accompanied by song and carousing

and parents in vehicles parked outside the uni housing
leading the push for packing the car with
their offsprings goods

well the parents look keen
