spare change

there's some loose
change
about.
dimes on the floor,
heads up, some
tails down.
shaken free from pockets,
from purses
perhaps
long ago.
the washer and drier
both seem
to want a share,
want to take hold
of silver, of copper.
the couch too,
is sneaky with coins.
taking
them deep between
the cushions.
the dresser has a
few quarters, and
behind the buffet,
they both seem
to be saving them
for some far off
rainy day.
