pocket full of copper



i am wealthy with humble change
how the haughty flash or roll of stash
is hidden

i tuck my plastic pack copper
in pockets of my faux bomber jacket
sling the fur collared fake
(AceofSpades)

BF-109 nosing profile down
trailing smoke
across my back

(shoulder immobolized broken)

pain grating at the break
tinted purple wire shades
black on black skull t-shirt

step out on mission downtown
flying on meds
with enough for a coffee
to warm my battered nerves

blue turqouise ten speed drive
wheel clicking soothingly
with wind in my soul

gotta roll!

Wow

It's hard to find poetry this good anymore. I really love how the line in parenthesis seperated and yet joined the two parts of the poem. Excellent.
