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 (2222)
2024
I heard news of >40K (2
252)
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
