Aladdin brand lunchbox

Popples grace the outside

Thermos full of Lite Brite bulbs

A headless Barbie

A Ken to match

Cassettes of farm stories that are worn

From hours of play and play and play

A sticker book full of Stickybears all in a row

And echoes of Bill Cosby standup

Perhaps a ghillie, a soft shoe we say

A poodle sock, tip stained with blood

And crumbles of cookies long since devoured

By cherished six-year-old me
