Lucky Nickel                                                            

 

Just this power-walking second,

Give or take a blink or three of our delighted eyes

Peering at the lake's water spirits

Dancing to the sun's dappled music,

We spy a five-times-magnified "lucky penny,"

In the shape of a newly minted nickel,

Winking at us, from atop the gravely asphalt,

Across the street from the summer-busy Dairy Queen,

 

And since visitations like this,

Being a bit mystical to us romantics,

Always evoke a ritualistic sigh of ecstasy,

We squeeze each other's hands and kiss,

Then continue on our way, through the village,

As if our feet were walking, ten feet high,

In a slipstream of dreams lacking all gravity,

Certain our love is destined to last at least five eons.
