something new

 1st d


little rusty bottlecap

i found you today

here on the curb

where i sat and smoked

fixing a broken shoelace

 

and i thought, you must be a miracle

some kind of precious metal

magnetic and stuck to my thumb

                ugly but lucky

the missing element in my mojo

                                (rock, paper, scissor, bottlecap)

 

like you

i was born in a factory

i cut my teeth in a fuckery

pop my top and pour myself out

everywhere i go

 

                                                                                like you

i would never call myself a silver dollar

                slide into a jukebox and sing a song

never claim myself a prince

but perhaps

crown myself with jewels anyway

                                                                                because

                                                i can make a necklace   

with you

and a broken shoelace
