In the backyard
I found a marble
that the dog unearthed
I wondered what child
how long ago
last played with it
I'd like to know
was it 1920?
when this house was new?
1940 or 52?
was the kid nice
or a brat?
skinny and tall
or fat?
I think I'll keep it
but before I go
I'll put it back
don't you know?
