Equal sides
of the same fair-skinned coin,
lined by locks
painted brown and adjoined
by temper.
Whilst spinning on flat rim;
each face made
clear by revolution,
they glowered,
and voiced their blind concerns.
In pocket,
they collide and jangle
with others,
but maintain their volume.
Flicked by thumb,
like cries through a fan blade;
they abate
in a sick rotation
until I
can resolve to spend them.
