Wrapping paper coats the box,
it glistens off the fluorescent lights 
A cute little red bow 
And a small note
You unravel the ribbon 
And suddenly see a flood of memories as powerful as a title wave rushing towards you
There’s one of you smiling and making silly faces 
There’s the one that says goodbye to your older brother 
There’s the one you go to visit him with little braids in your hair
There’s one when you’re making a slide out of pillows off your bed
There’s one where you have too much glitter on your face
And thousands more to unfold
But you wrap it back up and save it for another time
You noticed a note at the beginning of your journey,
So you unseal the envelope
And it reads;
From the greatest grifter ever, 
The time thief
