Expired coffee card fell out

Expired coffee card fell out,

and then, behind it, caught

by something sticky, that

tiny square of paper.


Corners soft, almost felt,

like worn velvet, a child's

attempt at a house, maybe,

or a dog.


Faded crayon lines,

blue roof, green ground,

held tight for years

without thought or reason.


Just there.

Part of the fold.
