Little Mozart

A Scavenger Hunt Poem

Tall gazes at

towering trees

staring

in reverence

at a novice squirrel

teething an acorn,

she gazes on

small playful bruises on

scraped knees

tresses of auburn

holding hidden memories

etched in her brain

and like clockwork,

it never ceased,

working

like a turbine,

she gazes on

there he lies

trapped forever in her manicured hands

only a cookie-cutter clipping

of his boyish smile remains,

the last living legacy

of trivial, adolescent games

somewhere in America

there is a little girl

turning page after page in

a scribbled out coloring book

colorful cartoons

gracing the television screen

unknown

to the fact of that

in which childhood ends

and adulthood begins,

yet still, she gazes on

i want to be

a naïve child again

i go back

i’ll get it right

this time

nevertheless,

i was afraid

she gazes on

this little Mozart

is condemned.
