From yesterdays gone.
His voice full of tears.

He sang for his flag,
And played for the boys
He once knew.

I could spend on a dime.
Everything wine and cherry time.

A story left unread
A speech left unsaid
A fish alive not dead....

Who did everything that he could,
To get away with crimes,
For just nickels and dimes,
Until he got sent to jail for good....

    You feel so good, when you spend less
       saving your nickels and dimes

Times like these I might loiter
Anything to fill my tank and preserve...

Ancient architecture absolutely blows my mind
With the limited resources available at the time
To accomplish such beauty
Was a feather in their tutti
Quite impressive but must've cost lotsa dimes...

Dimes.

Materialistic s**t.

Business buildings

Filled with

Except believing

Power and dimes

Is all that

Exists.

Concrete....

Rolling change while reading poetry
Frustrating rolls
Frustrating words

Forty syllables
Fifty dimes
Fifty lines

For every word I read
I could have many rolls of pennies
And many pomes read...
