thumb wars
except played with teeth
dog's laughter

I had a photo
of my Nana and Da;
a four by four inch print
from an old Kodak camera.
It was displayed in an acrylic cube
along with a stegosaurus I took in the British Museum
and my childhood dog wearing a leather jacket.
What were the other three pictures?
Though they were important
to the ten-year-old me
I have no memory of them
but the sound of a tennis ball,
in the brick backyard of my Nana's,
is as clear as a bell
