slipping through the cracks

like coins,
shiny or dull, things
slip through the cracks, into
the cushions
get swept away by shoes,
by brooms,
by the cat.
people too get lost
in the unending shuffle
of days
going by.
forgotten before they were
hardly known.
mere blinks in the flutter
of a weary eye.
