Pennies
In a time of
credit cards,
e-bucks, checks, and coupons,
we need the
copper colored cent like we need memories
to keep us
balanced
and remind of
where we came from and
who we are,
Pennies to pick
up –
honest side up –
to remind us of
the good that’s in the world.
Pennies to
jingle in our
pockets after
buying fireworks,
and to spend
Thursdays wrapping in paper rolls
while Dad talks
about his school years.
For filling that
first
ceramic bank and
collecting
over weeks to buy
gum from the corner store
next to the grandparents’
house.
We need them to
teach the cousins
how to count and
to be the stencil head
of all the stick
drawings.
We need pennies
like we need pictures.
Something to
hold on to
while we go
back.
Something to never
forget
and a reason to
never want to.
