Naive Simplicity

Your brother is born
while you sift the incredible
from the yeti and bigfoot
pages on the internet.
You whistle the theme tune
from the X-files, and become
transfixed with the facts
of
science fiction.
Your brother is born and
you look for lost marbles,
your eight year old mind
missing the miracle by a mile.
