Loose Change

May 4, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is psychology.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A psychological poem about the dangers of being too ready to please others:

Loose change (was that lose change?)

Spends easy. Like favors.

Like mornings or afternoons.

Time is easier than touch,

Being there easier than being.

How often, unthinking,

Do I spend a yes

To avoid breaking me?
