Preparation

It's so easy

To reach into a can of worms feeling for the biggest to thread on the hook.
All done with eyes closed to try to make the time more real
The fish will not be seen until they're caught
and later when I'm older, maybe seven or even nine
I'll be able to say I can do it with my eyes closed

Wow, you capture the voice of the child so wonderfully here. "All done with eyes closed to try to make the time more real " the sentience of that is incredible I imagine. You have such an affinity for nature in all your poems - any reader will look at the world anew after reading your work!

this poem is about childhood it seems the poet speaks about his memories in sequence of moments, he often does, wonderful writing.
