Ill Keep Both Coins
There is more than one value of a Browned-Coin
and no matter how hard it may be to accept and appreciate their worth
I unlike you
have decided to keep both coins
Shiny and Darkened
Today
I choose the Browned-Coin I found lying on the ground in the Suburbs
As though
The weight to bear, too heavy for “Change”
and embarrassment of such pride staking gatherings is none the more appreciated,
with time consumption for calculating
an hundredfold
Looking at one shiny
as though well-kept in safe places
Preserved as rarity by cherished old matrons who sit amongst thirteen stars
while liberating bands around heads, keep eyes gazing at skies over States-United
on one side, making promises to turn new leafs for the integration of
shiny Browned-Coins, as Reserves temporarily deter
dissemination into the depreciating masses
of darkened similitude
Yet
something one could slowly
bank on
So you see
There is more than one value of a Browned-Coin
and no matter how hard it may be to accept and appreciate their worth
I unlike you
have decided to keep both coins
Shiny and Darkened
Today
I choose the Browned-Coin I found lying on the ground in the Hood
as though
no one would ever find value in such minute figures
enough to pick them up and keep them
in population
Looking at one
darkened and disproportioned
as though irresponsibly cared and worn from circumstance.
The waning of brighter rounded Political faces rejecting revisions in capital,
engendering scores of self-disdain from beliefs that,
words illegitimately placed
over the head of a once New Republican
will make sense enough to at least uphold the value of a browned coin
assimilate the word tattooed on the back of his neck
and will someday become truths
held as self-evidence
Yes,
there is more than one value of a Browned-Coin
but though there are over a billion altogether in circulation
they insist on separately trying to fit the Bill,
individually rendering them,
as one percent
So I unlike you
have decided to keep both coins
Shiny and Darkened
I have collectively gathered
that, since, one and one make two
one day in one sense one cent will help one cent make good sense
and that, since, one and one is two, cents, further from nonsense, but
two cents closer to the ninety-eight more Browned faces needed to
gather one-hundred Browned-Political Figures
together to create One Bill
I unlike you
have decided to keep both coins
Shiny and Darkened
Now
since politicians don’t even make sense to politicians
and the number of cents needed for Browned-Coins to appreciate their worth
is only accepted when multiplied by higher values and divided amongst Political faces
too high for Browned-Coins to reach to, “exact change,”
abuse the worth of Browned-Coins in numbers
like corn plucked in markets from the stock,
and
have collected
enough cents to make sense of the nonsense
perpetuated by higher numbers who count on creating Bills
Mint to Remove scores of Browned-Coins from current-seas,
I have tasked myself with a task of the highest of difficulties
I write to keep Browned-Coins
in population
Because
I too have
sometimes walked by and seen
the two Browned-Coins on the ground,
the one Shiny and the one Darkened
and in a prideful vain thought that even the voices in my head muffled,
for an instance, I became prejudice against my own color when the questions were aroused,
Do you really want to pick those up?
You don’t know where they came from or what they could be carrying!
Do you really want to be seen gathering the likes of those?
Are they really worth it?
And it’s,
around that time
that I shake my head to rattle “Change,” in mind
thinking
I once was of two Browned-Cents found lying on the grounds of both places
the Suburbs and the Hood, and have been the both, shiny and Darkened,
and know what it is to feel as though one will never amount to enough,
so I do know how long it takes for two browned coins to accumulate
Cents enough to appreciate worth
But
there is more than one value of a Browned-Coin
And until every Browned-Coin realizes that, unless we are all counted together as a whole,
we will never truly be valued as more than one percent
So since
two Browned-Cents is better than No sense at all
I unlike you
have decided to keep both coins
the Shiny and the Darkened
