dime
raze
i
found
a
dime
in
the
middle
of
the
driveway
.
the
sun
shoved
its
shine
straight
into
my
cruelest
eye
. "
put
it
in
your
pocket
,"
my
father
said
. "
for
luck
."
now
there's
a
second
silver
circle
on
the
table
where
we
eat
our
meals.
i
can
hear
the
one
that's
mine
touch
the
black
tongue
of
the
lens_cap
i
keep
close
to
me
when
it
isn't
where
it
belongs. reminding
me
of
something
that
seems
to
be
in
short
supply.
it
doesn't
announce
itself
with
every
step
i
take
. it'll
fall
silent
for
most
of
the
day
.
and
just
when
i'm
sure
it's
abandoned
me
,
the
quiet
click
of
unkempt
kindness
rises
up
out
of
nothing
and
makes
itself
known
again
.
