A penny for your dreams—
they’re as curious as thoughts.
A nickel for your laughter
if it comes out of the box.
A dime for your happiness
if you’ll share it with me.
A quarter for your apple
if it falls far from the tree.
A dollar for your love,
but only time will whisper
if it’s money down the drain
or a happy ever after.

All these years
I thought I might be
the one who had opened
the can. Such surprise
to find I am one
of the worms.

The spilled milk?
I am not crying.
This is me kneeling
on the gray stone tile
to lap up the puddle
the way a grown woman
should never do.
It may be a mess,
but it’s not spoiled yet
and I’m thirsty enough
to lower myself,
and look, how the cup
is still half full.
