penny

We'd sneak up to the train tracks with a couple coins in hands

lay them on the rails and wait, other hands in hands

can you see how flat I've become in my eyes

the single layer of my own crushing demise

but the beautiful smooth and serene surface

will never be enough when a penny's worthless

Pennies flattened on the railroad tracks--brings back fond memories from long ago. Thanks for sharing. Sam
