Line Game Poem by Rebecca Springsteen

The line game.
Step to line if the question applies to you.
Try not to show any expressions, don't judge.
Do you know any one who has been in prison?
Step up to the line.
Do you know someone in jail or prison right now?
My muscles clench with wanting to know, step up to the line.
Have you spent more then a week with out contact to your parent(s) ?
My knees feel weak as I step up to the line.
Do you know anyone who has been laid off work?
Step to the line.
The bell rings.
I'm so sorry daddy.
