Quarters
Silver never seemed so close
those quarters
filched from my pocket
by Tahoe's
invisible hand
but at 13
a baker's dozen
from repeated dives
I found out otherwise
water clear
aquamarine and shallow
near the dock I was fishing off
yet so cold it almost choked me out
I had to let the quarters go
like Uzzah knows and
I once said
the world speaks
sometimes it says BLANK OFF
put down your cameras put down your pens
for the love of God no pictures and
most definitely
no poems
