Four peculiar objects found in a white walled room. 

I should’ve thought before breaking in,                 

maybe the owner has a story as profound as my own.


black spy rubber duck, a yellow mask

covering eyes. Maybe in the ownership

of a joker, a clown, not to be taken seriously. 


A circular compass-looking calendar, how

to use it? Crack the mystery. Maybe worshipping

false gods, predicting the end of the world.


A dragon fly eye, like a broken magnifying glass,

showing revolving diamonds when you look inside.

Maybe I should take it for my nephew, Winston.

                                                       

A green die with many numbers, twenty sides. 

who would need to roll that many possibilities?

Maybe a magician, a gambler, a fortune teller.

The poem ends on a mysterious note so the reader can imagine the ending.
