in a tiny kingdom, two foot by four
he rules on his knees on the patio floor,
mighty fleets of trucks and cars
space ships that explore the stars
boats and ships upon the sea,
all side by side in the kingdom of his majesty.
traffic jams of awesome proportions
of match box cars and ships of the oceans
journeys to far off lands
all directed by tiny hands.
first a witness to this magical scene,
then drawn across the span between
the adult, tested and tried
to the innocent child inside
I become a participant in this magical land
located in a two foot by four box of sand.
