Poem

Tots will be tots and fish coins from the well


i threw some loose change into a wishing well
or pond of good luck
and the beautiful thing i saw spawn
two little tots race over
I'd say not older than three
with creativity beyond their ages
both climb inside the hotel lobby pond
look down at the coins
their eyes beaming
their hearts racing, i bet
which also begs the question
where were the parents
but i continue watching
with my eyes beaming, too, more than theirs
as both of the tots reach the rock wall
i'd say at least 3 feet, peek over
being closer to the water and coins
and then tying  their bodies together
with one kid holding onto the other's legs and ankles
like an extension ladder
so that kid was able to scoop up a few coins
and he did, his heart racing
i bet
so happy like a newborn cubs catching their first kill
in that instance it was frenzy 
of emotions for the kids
passages of life and innocence
maybe a scolding from their parents later
but for now mums was the word
i exchange glances with the tots
their raccoon smiles
pouring out into my heart
