Pieces and Fragments - 7. child's play

i have all these blocks.

carefully, so carefully
one on top of the other
i place them
like treasures
and my shelter takes form

until it gets kicked down

so i find a better place
ground more level
and no one else around
but it's lonely
so i knock the blocks down
and move on

i find a new friend
and together we build
the very bestest of walls
tremendous - big, so big

then he kicks it down
cuz, well really,
he only wanted to play a little while
and now he knows
how he wants his blocks to be
so he don't need me

i'm just in the way

so he takes his blocks elsewhere
and make his own things

i don't know if i have the strength
to try building anymore

But ...
i have all these blocks.
