Nature’s disbursement, copper
pennies (ticking time bombs) tap
out her allotment hour by
hour. Rich or poor, sinner or
.
saint, all receive one thousand,
four hundred and forty. Hers
used to slip through her fingers
like water, burning a hole
.
in her pocket on Pay Day.
But when her economy
collapsed, she diversified
her portfolio, making
.
investments in her children,
marriage, self – a penny saved
is a penny worth spending
on a day such as this one.
