Behind the Fence

The Boy wonders
gazing through the
Eyes of the metal fence
A question is raised
too far and too faint for me to hear
But it seems as he got the answer
the smile on his face tells me so
But the mothers face says something else
A different story
I write down every detail
of the curious child and the
mother
I look up as I write few words down
And I look up to write more
But they're gone
Vanished behind the fence
