Charlotte went down to the brook behind her grandparents house
her mom and dad were overseas
her brother was at soccer practice practicing kicks
her grandparents were playing bridge
Charlotte crossed the brook on a wooden bridge
made of fallen trees, a giant kicked over
and climbed up an embankment
Charlotte's mom works in a bank
she wears a vest with a pocketwatch
Charlotte's dad works at home
he writes stories for a mystery quarterly
The embankment looked over a field
past that a mountain range
