In the Woods
Every day, on the school bus,
we drove past the drive
with a no-trespassing sign.
And I wondered what was down there
deep in the woods
where no one could see.
Maybe M. Night Shyamalan
had a similar experience in his childhood
and dreamed up The Village.
My cousin boasted that she had ridden
down there along with our grandfather
to deliver garden seed to a monastery.
She took all the fun out of it.
