• Old stuffed toys
    I talked to all day
    colored marker marks
    that never fade away

    being to short to see
    dressing up in old clothes
    little books that now,
    seem silly at most.

    Tucked in back of my closet
    those old memories
    the old shirt and a
    picture, or three.

    Scotch tape on my walls
    with pictures of me.
    There's us at the beach,
    brother and me.

    Old memories that are
    faded--or gone;
    but some just stick
    childhood-- it's funny like that.
