Make-Believe

A boy of seven stands

in a box

with a sword, 

his shining helm

a simple boiling pot,

his chest guard

a piece of cardboard

spray-

painted

silver.

His expression is one of

curious rage, as if

his friend playing the dragon

had truly destroyed his castle -

an idyllic home

for a young knight,

with turrets & mossy stone & secret doors

between two lakes - 

the dragon roars, and

in the wake of the sound,

the knight stands his ground,

then,

charges.
