210. A Niffler's Treasure
If he could only bite gold things like this all day
he'd be really happy: happier than getting dirt
between his paws.
But even gold couldn't last forever:
shiny and smooth, and soon his teeth
cut the smoothness away, and time
the lustre, and treasure became trash
to be buried again, and searched for
again: another thing glittering
and gold.
