Rainbow baby blocks:

Bright wooden bricks.

Scattered carelessly

On the thick carpet.

Cluttered, directionless:

Buildings in a ghost town.

Patterned, abstractly:

Junior art.

Happy stacking,

Brick up, bricks top

Higher, higher-

Poking the cream-painted sky.

A reconstruction

Of the leaning tower of Pisa.

Leftovers lie abandoned;

Worship at its foot.

The fat finger stretches, reaches for the distant ceiling,

And the last block wonders

On its miniature achievement.
