It came with<\/p>\n
no set of instructions<\/p>\n
no diction nor dialogue<\/p>\n
A collection of old cameras, watches, photographs,<\/p>\n
tea cups and toys<\/p>\n
marking my family’s<\/p>\n
movement on earth.<\/p>\n
Yellowed newspaper dated 1920<\/p>\n
cradled a flowery porcelain tea cup<\/p>\n
that once held my\u00a0 great grandmother’s lips.<\/p>\n
A black and white photo showed my nana<\/p>\n
proudly dressed in her tennis whites<\/p>\n
gazing longingly…<\/p>\n
More pocket watches were unearthed<\/p>\n
trapped in timelessness decades ago!<\/p>\n
Rattling at the bottom of our Family Time Capsule<\/p>\n
were<\/p>\n
three small tin matchbox cars .<\/p>\n
My father’s eyes flicked with amazement<\/p>\n
and childhood amusement.<\/p>\n
Now, it is my turn<\/p>\n
to stop time-leave my mark<\/p>\n
be immortalized<\/p>\n
leave my buried treasure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
