The Marble


A little marble Found by a young boy on the stairs Interest is found for a little while Then, not lost, The interest diffuses But the boy still keeps it On his desk Drawings turn to multiplication problems, Multiplication turns to research papers But through it all the marble sits The boy looks fondly now and then Remembering his childhood But not regretting progression
