SMALL CHANGE
worn coppers tinked
on the basket's felt
but laid crushed by
the weight of old
papers.
Two pennies lost in
Pierpoint green;
their joys and hopes
lay gleaned jawbones
beside the lion.
Two pennies clinged
the teller's plate
and danced their
two cents before his
face and dropped down
dizz'ly aside its mate
while birds dart,
fearing, through clean
cat's teeth.
