Forfeit Haiku

Three young men toss ball

stop to huddle, play called off

screen shine in their eyes

quiet close breath

don’t touch anything just

the lit device

pile of mitts

jackets still in grass

the sun sets

no words

but beeps and clicks

heads bent

mute

cyber world

rules

game long

lost.
