Poetic Asides- based on a movie

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.
