why yes
i am
the one; of many.
the prince; of pennies.
counting copper pillars
that cage tiny
dead symbols
of Lincoln
of freedom
i invade quarters
and pillage coffers
hidden in dry wall
and buried in floorboards
those secret panels
where you also hoard
i am also moored to
and if someday
Charon, extends his hand
and gravely states the price
i just may finally be able
to afford an eternity:
of laughing at this carnival;
of screaming on this ride.
