reminds me
of how the world
can be.
how a quarter gives you
just three more
minutes.
it doesn't seem fair,
as you continue to feed
more coins into
the metal face.
nickels and dimes.
it swallows them with a gulp.
hungry for more.
until you reach
a mere hour.
that's all,
that's all the time
you get. now move along.
