pennies

you see
coins all day
as you
walk along.
the world being
generous
in small ways.
pennies mostly
but nickels
and dimes too.
hardly ever
a quarter
or a half dollar.
no one
cares about the
penny it seems,
but you
feel guilty in
not picking it
up. so you do.
and it will
find it's way
home with you,
deep in your pocket
to be turned
out at some
point and thrown
into a blue
jar on the counter
and from
there, who knows.
