#388 1,2,3...

a vertical bat jumps back and forth back and forth
between two brothers' hands
at the last catch they step toward each other
now there hands, grasping the bat, climb each other
then they near the bat's handle
finger-scissors appear
alas, the older, longer-fingered boy wins
again
first bat
he hoots
half the boys follow him
and half the younger brother
