Pocket

Pocket

i keep so many small things

hidden in my pocket

little memories, receipts, judgement calls

spare change i pull out when i'm poor.

i have a knife there too

though it is often used

on the inside

not on the out

and i cannot find my favorite pieces because i've scattered them about

i keep receipies of my favorite flavors

and try to taste them over again

but don’t you see, they only rot

staying in my pocket

and i keep a key to the world, so that i can lock it

out.

and no one will find my favorite things because i've scattered them about.
