bent over low 
the old black man 
hobbles in a crabwalk 
down the boulevard 
arthritic fingers 
gripping his Goodwill cane 
the cracks in the 
uneven sidewalk 
of the inner city 
reflect deeply 
on his face 
and down his 
ancient leatherneck 
inching wearily across 
the derelict landscapes 
pausing only once to 
stoop much lower 
than life already 
has folded 
and creased him 
to pinch 
from the stained concrete 
two copper pennies 
minutes of grasping 
and regrasping 
these so called 
lucky tokens 
studying them with 
a toothless grin 
remembering when they 
were worth so much more 
then the shiny baubles 
they now represented 
but his smile 
slowly fades 
as he finds himself 
wishing that Lincoln 
whose face is also 
worn and tarnished 
had held far more value 
to society at large 
then two cents 
worth of promises 
Old Abe's 
words of equality 
ring hollow now 
in the cavern 
where this old man's 
brain floats 
he could count 
on his fingers 
times when he 
shared really
close feelings 
with those of 
a paler color 
and the only
thing equal 
at this point
in his life 
is his pulse 
and his age 
toss the coins 
feel the rage.
