Pennies

Pennies, twice dropped, 

heads up, in my path. 

Fat raindrops falling 

as I step into my 

favorite shop. A new 

book I haven’t read 

on the first shelf I see. The 

girl at the counter smiles, 

the gap in her teeth revealing

soft pink inside. I pay for the 

book; she sets my change 

on the counter. Pennies, heads 

up – what luck.
