shiny and pretty
If you pour them into a small space,
maybe if you rattle container,
some of them may move near each other,
maybe they’ll even touch shoulders?
but shift the toybox again,
and another one takes the place of the previous neighbor
so it goes
the proximity is so impermanent
the shifting and sliding is endless
I’d hate to be a marble

    Marbles

    so shiny and pretty
    If you pour them into a small space
    maybe if you shake the container
    they’ll rattle and bump
    some of them will certainly move near each other
    maybe they’ll even touch shoulders?
    but , shift the toybox again
    and other ones take the place of the previous neighbors

    so it goes
    they clatter and move about,
    the proximity is so impermanent
    the shifting and sliding is endless!
    oh, I’d hate to be a marble
