GRIZZLY PEAR

written snapshots

The stuffed animals cheered while maniacs tore through the master bedroom.

They wanted to play Quidditch.
She cut out six paper hoops.
Taped three each on opposite walls.

We watched the rules on youtube.
From the movies and in real life.
Pulled up stadium noise.

I was a bludger throwing plush cakes at the girl.
She threw a red ball at the hoops and chased her brother.
He whirled around as the snitch, grasping a yellow ball.

Tiger and Daddy Bear were drafted as blockers.
We switched roles.
A din of creatures, projectiles, and people.

Momma called us down for lunch.
We couldn’t hear her.
She started without us.
