Toys of the mind
when i was young i didn't play with barbie dolls.i had jigsaw puzzles, lego, car assembly sets, books and peter rabbit thingamajigs.
i loved sitting on the bed with me sis, arranging all our pillows bolsters and blankets to build a ship. with snacks, masak masak and the remote control we imagined our ship drifting on the sea. there were sharks crocodiles but we fought them off. whenever an unknown presence hovered near we ducked under our blankies having each other and the darkened warmth for comfort.
i hid a little something under a tree in the park once. i went back once. i never saw it again.
some things are better left undiscovered. dont ask and there will be no answers.
