the city of Lost change

Dimes, nickels and pennies tossed and spread about, everywhere.

They sit, restlessly lying and rolling around,

lost,

without purpose.

Abandoned by the designer,

let loose by the carrier.

And now, thrown onto the Earth,

they wait for Opportunity

to pick them up,

and use them to their full potential.

Yet they never find out why they exist to be used for a purpose

greater than their promise,

or where their final destination,

based on their own personal value, will be.

The only thing for sure

is that eventually there will be a recall and recycling,

so at the end of their cycle

they can be ‘returned to sender,’

while younger versions take their place, on the streets.

They do not know where and how

they shall land…

they simply hope and try their hardest to be found,

‘Heads Up’!
