Tossing Quarters
Luis Jimenez
When my brother passed,
I said I would quit-
it was never a promise-
I could see through my shit.
I have nothing but time,
I could do it my way-
corner store to buy beers,
and toss quarters all day.
Here I get treated well-
where you found me before,
you have found me again,
and you'll find me once more.
But soon I will begin,
to finally leave this place-
my coins are falling flat,
I am losing your embrace.
