I carry it with me as I leave home. I hide it in my pocketbook. It rolls in the nooks and under the *****. Someone gave it to me. I haven’t
given it back. It’s grown bigger over the years. It started out as a pebble that stuck in my shoe. That little I just shook it loose. But then it grew the size of my hand. So, I threw it
in the ocean. It made a nest in the sand as the tide pulled back. On land, I tripped over it. And it broke my foot/cracked the bone. Still,
I lugged it with me on the drive home. I took it to the doctor so he'd see the culp of my pain. But he romanced the stone and gave it a name.
