On the playground there was a marble stuck in the concrete.
This was when playgrounds were made on hard material.
The marble was a mistake but to a child it was something
almost magical.

"I'll meet you at the marble."
That's what the kids would say.

I wasn't invited.
I was a bad influence.
Keep away from that one.

They had a point.
I did cheat on my second grade
spelling test.
