yellowed paper fell from my journal
my eyes scanned through the mysterious markings
did astronomy play a part?
was it about a parallel world
faded out of vision by the familiar one?
writings on the wall had not warned me
I kept speculating about its origin
how did it come about in my pocket book
almost brittle piece of paper with frayed edges
stars and squiggles with lines and curves
"give me that paper, it is mine"
my five-years old niece came to me with a bounce
almost snatching it from my hand!

I was so convinced you had written it and forgotten it... until she bounced in. Much fun!
I always like a surprise ending.
you are certainly a master of punch line.

Kids definitely live in a parallel, almost alien universe. Great twist on the plot.
