Inside this box are but three things
--a ruler, a boxing glove, and kite string.
Because I never could keep my sordid
life straight.
Because I never did learn to fight my
own battles.
Because I never will soar as high as my smallest dream.
Why do I have them in the first place,
you might ask?
I just love reminiscing.
I'm a sucker for nostalgia,
even if it's over my own failings.
Inspired by the poem "Small Fishes" by fellow HP writer Devon Brock.
