Glory Winzer Poet I do not know?

Mermaid

She was sitting in the sand,
Building a tower
She looked like a mermaid
So I told her so
She said ‘Thank you,’
And I asked if she was a mermaid
She said ‘Do you think I am?
Cause I think that that sort of thing is flexible’
I didn’t understand
I was only five
She said ‘People are how others see them.’
Then I got it
‘So you are a mermaid’ I triumphantly said
She just smiled and shook her head
I ask ‘then are you an angel?’
She put her finger to her lips
I ran to get my mama
I told her what I found
She laughed and followed me
Back to the angel in the sand
But there was no one there
I never told anyone else
I think that mama forgot
About that angel mermaid girl
On the beach, who disappeared
