There was a toy
flip-flop odd eyes
in thrift dress leather holey shoes
it had no other changes
bare face
only laughing it knew
for any jobs a man did to it
There was a toy
that walking itself hamlet to hamlet
such boredom ruled its world
searching some touch
from dusk till down
played manually in the morning
it was upgraded some years later
to be operated automatically in the evening
when the sun goes shy
and the night slows a man's walk
crawling onto its belly
