In my Pocket”


“To whom it my concern…”


My wallet contains

A 20-dollar bill,

quarters, nickels

and

a silver dime.


My pocket contains

a bus ticket,

paper in texture,

and

a toonie in value.


My bag contains

A common excuse note,

“Please excuse Erika

for the test she had missed”


My mind contains

Memories,

Jokes,

And laughter.

Love,

Angst,

And the tears that come after.
