the green bowl on the counter

at the end
of the day, i stand at the counter
in the kitchen
and empty
my pockets
into the green bowl
on the counter.
the keys, the coins,
the cash,
a wallet,
a note with numbers
written on it.
a stick of gum, a cough
drop.
a folded map.
it's been a long day.
but home
at last.
