//------------------------------// // Boulder // Story: The Collected Poems of Maud Pie // by Titanium Dragon //------------------------------// Boulder, You are my rock. I named you boulder when I was small Even though you were small Because I thought it would make you feel big. You are good at hiding Especially in my pocket. Boulder, You are my favorite rock. You are small and gray And round and strong And made out of rock. You are older than me But I don't mind Because I know you won't go away Because you aren't alive. You're a rock. And rocks don't die Though they do erode. But you won't erode in my pocket Unless it rubs on you too much.
