Just like the swan jar, when I saw you I had to have you.
Only $3 from a Japanese food store on Smith St.
So small, tiny and your existence makes me smile, wondering why.
You'd be nice to drink, but only for a short while.
Now sitting on my shelf.
Standing at only 135mL tall.
Years out of date.
I dare not drink you.
But there I keep you, on my window ledge.
To remind me of the small things around me that make me wonder and smile.
A small and important ornament that's been in my life.
