Time
is mine to keep
folded in fours
stuffed into pocket
of worn jeans
is mine to lose
like dropped pennies
that aren’t even
copper anymore
is mine to spend
exchanged between
hand to hand
keep the change
is mine to waste
crumpled, tossed
into kitchen trash
atop coffee grounds
is mine to mind
focus of attention
racing against
hand sweep
is mine to forget
lost in laughter
caught in moment
between friends
