pièces de monnaie de poche



pocket change

i'll admit it.
i looked pretty ridiculous - 
sitting there on my bed
counting out coins
with forty or fifty bucks in quarters and dimes
sectioned off in little quartets or groups of ten
(which are not dectets)
in lines on the comforter in front of me.

it wasn't much.
not even a full tank of gas
at the time.

my dad came in, 
chuckled
and asked with a bit of a smile:
"you realize what you're doing, right?"

"yeah."

i realized what i was doing.
i was counting out pocket change
and using it for gas to drive across the country -
that
is what i was doing.

and it looked ridiculous 
because it was.

but that's not enough
to stop me, dear.
