I heard on NPR World of a father with twins
Two freshly minted
Pennies shiny not
found left in the street
forgotten in the tray
like loose and expendable
change
In
August
16 (222*2)
2024
I heard news of >40K (225*2)
asymmetrical deaths
Mohammad Abu Al-Qumsan
remembers the prime 11
He was smitten by her
in October
11 (two nickels + one penny)
2022
They married on the Island of Gaza
He remembers they wedded
In July
2023
Sometimes
in August
2024
symmetry was broken
Jumana gave birth to
a boy, Asser
a girl, Ayssal
Four (2*2) days later
Mohammad, the accountant lost all his coins
We are sinistra with change
