Possibilities

You asked me

to bring

two cardboard boxes home from work

to make a castle

& that’s exactly what you did,

stacked them one

on top of the other, mama can you

cut doors & windows?

perfect

you continued

stoically

even when mama got a little bitchy

about cutting skinny strips

from cardboard

(it’s not easy you know)

I know

thank you

attaching strips to flat pieces

until

look here’s my castle

with beds & thrones & windows

a balcony with railings, impressive

but just as you imagined

there it is

exactly

right,

you

are exactly right (good mama)

as mama never could have imagined

right here

you

you
