Found Money
The best place to find money out of doors
Is by the high school, on the “parent loop.”
On weekend mornings, it’s a likely source
Of pennies, dimes, and quarters; only stoop
As from a bicycle, and there they lay,
Dropped in what night amusement, who can tell?
The most I’ve ever found, a worthy prey,
Was twenty dollars - two crisp tens. Why dwell
On what failed purchase left them ownerless,
Spent, on the pavement? Just because it’s fun
To speculate. Sex? Drugs? Bills won’t confess
Why some kid let them drift, or had to run.
And so bemused I ride, eyes on the ground,
And think my stoop repaid by money found.
