36 Cents

36 Cents - by Eagle Bear

Ambition and clarity
Go hand in hand
Right off the cliff
Blind-sight meets hindsight
And I want to walk out
But the words
Just keep on coming out of me
Pounding the paper
Like a fist on the pavement
Outside the valet parking
At the Fairmount Hotel
(36 cents to my name)
One choked sob
Escapes my throat (from the depths)
And at that precise moment
Those priceless words,
Spoken to me Saturday afternoon,
Echo in my mind once more:
"I feel shy around you."
And somehow the hole in the bubble
Really has gotten a little smaller.

What a wise investment.
After a brief passage.
It's not the 36 cents...
it feels like so much more.
