Life of a Penny

Life of a Penny

On the ground.
Hidden behind the couch.
Never looked on.
Given but never loved.
Hundred together matches one loon.
Ten thousand equals one paper.

Tossed at the homeless.
An afterthought.
Worth less than itself.
Queen on my face,
A leaf on the back,
Still on the sidewalk.
Waiting to be picked up.

-Wren
