Looking for my Marbles

can you still hear
the soft clanking noise
that takes you back
to your childhood?
how can i
ever forget
how much
i loved these
as a child.
today,
i wonder
if i still
have them all –
i am sure
i lost a couple
over the years
and they got
replaced
with imposters.
i wish
i could
get them all back
for back then,
the world
was
A-ok.
