A Toy

Para Nicky


There was once a little boy
that wanted to become a toy.
He imaged he was green
and sat on top of his toy bin.
-I am a frog sitting on a log, he said.

He did not move.
He did not talk.
He wanted to blend in
with the fluffy little dog
that was laying next to him.

UN JUGUETE


Había una vez un niño
que quería ser un juguete.
Imaginó que era verde.

Sentado encima de su caja de juguetes, dijo:
- Soy una rana sentada sobre un tronco.

No se movió,
No habló.
Quería imitar al pequeño, mullido
perro que estaba a su lado.
