Once by the Pond
by Steven Craig
I knew you once
The young woman that often walked down to the pond
Near where the old crocodile lived
Holding a small box
She would open the box and carefully peer inside
to see what her life would be like one day
what she would need
who she was that day
Her face told the story
If she was happy or she was sad or if it was exciting or held no promise
But the box it never changed
And she would go away
But she would come back from day to day and again open the box
and carefully peer inside while standing by the pond
Then one day I noticed
She was not returning any more to the pond with her box
But the old crocodile was still there
