Filling the Pussy

There is a wonky-headed cat that's stood
behind my 'puter screen, just to the right.
It's laden down with coins; not bollywood
-en nickels or, lead pennies dullish white

A five or single peso piece is flung
up on a slot within its arching back,
above a plastic-belly buttoned bung
that's nestled near a de-glazed hairline crack.

So far I haven't saved enough to buy
a house, a car, a bike, or pair of shoes.
It hurts to let my sleeping coinage lie;
I'd much prefer a prostitute or booze.
Some days my wallet makes me cry
then counting up the change I sing the blues.
