Roxaboxen

When we were very young we dug shards of glass from the ground around the tennis courts, filled up a jar with our crystal currency and buried it by the roots of the pine tree.

When I came back, I tore up the ground with the sharp end of a stick in search of it and found nothing.

I am beginning to see how much of everything there is in what seems to be nothing.

(Border Line)

I used to wonder
About living and dying--
I think the difference lies
Between tears and crying.

I used to wonder about here and there--
I think the distance 
Is nowhere.
