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.
