Child's Play

Child's Play

Dug out thin dusty worms
In cemented elementary school sandbox
With white plastic spoon
Until then, forgot warms were a thing

In high school
Rain and wind
Brought plump snaky critters
Crawling on their bellies
Rising from the coarse ground coffee
Couldn't squash them
Closest I've gotten to nature
