Pockets

In my jacket pocket
I once found a banknote
Completely forgotten

In my trouser pocket
I once found a banknote
Washed to extinction

I said I didn’t need it
The banknote discretely placed
In my packpocket

Walking down main street
I once found a banknote
Blowing softly in the wind

I remember my first payday
Banknotes and coins in a paper bag
Placed into my jacket pocket

Today I found a face mask
Same colour as a serious banknote
In my jacket pocket
