forget the plastic, the Fischer-Price
the educational, baby-tested and certified.
A shiny bronze bracelet still reflecting the
sun from the beach in Dakar
I still laugh at the heated bargaining

a handmade drum from the same place,
a different seller, a Guinean, a painted lion
on the back, nails hammered flat for plucking
and the insulated mug from Meredith
the one that Karen wanted to have received
even though she didn't want it.
Mira, you will look at the pictures one day and recognize
