The Night Talks • Vents

coin

im just a coin
of unknown value
laying on the floor
unreachable by vacuums

i wait for you
to notice my shine
to pick me up
to spend me

you dont notice
im not useful
for who needs a coin
when we have dollar bills

i just want to be spent
on groceries
or even a slot machine
but i never will be

i am just a coin
a forgotten lonely coin
my value is not enough
so ill just gather dust
