Envy

I only put that toy down

because I wanted to play with

some other things

for just a minute.

But that is my favorite toy, and

when I went back to pick it up

someone else had already found it,

gave it a story and a new name,

and sang songs to it until it was

their favorite toy.

And even though I still

love that toy,

I forgot why.

I just know it isn‘t mine now

and I wonder why I put it down

in the first place.
