Gully Cricket

That day
he cried
cuz he didnt want to go
beyond the wall
and bring back the ball

They broke the wall today.
He cried...
He had his stumps carved on it!

The others play
over stumps made of broken brick pieces
and cry
over virtual wickets that fall on them

He doesnt cry anymore
He neither bats nor bowls

He only keeps wickets
to save the ball
from going behind!
