About This Poem

except from The Petrified Forest

As a child I sat quietly 
As I was told, as small as I was suppose to be,
The grown ups talking of money, sports, engagement rings.
But I grew bored, my small brain wandered, not understanding such important 
things.
And my mind drifted to childish matters and I started to cry 
With the memory and thought of what I’d seen and the death of a dragonfly.
