bury your shiny pennies
in the dirt
so that hasty feet
may shuffle over it
bury your shiny pennies
but not too deep
for they are still of value
and amidst the dust and debris
and in the scorching sun
lay your pennies to rest
until the shuffling finally resurfaces them
& the sun makes it glisten
& they'll catch the eye
of somebody who'll hold them tightly
bury your shiny pennies
let them gather dust
but fear not
they always make it out
to where they belong
