it’s inside ribbed plastic bin
oma can I play with this now I’m five
carry to the living room and open the world
of medieval make believe with
flying dragon
knights on horseback
castle pieces with turrets and towers
and small plastic boulders that fit in the spoon
of the catapult
to be hurled across the room
unleashed on the enemy
behind the grey walls of the fortress
and all disappears
the chairs
the carpet
the tv
the windows
until it’s time to find all the plastic balls
and swords
and helmets
and chains
and put them back into the bin
along with a piece of you
catapulting through epochs of time
