things i have picked up
the four
of hearts
from a red deck
of cards,
and the ace of spades
from a blue one.
a snail shell -
i hope
there are no homeless
gastropods
around here.
two quarters
i won in the casino
in coeur d’alene -
even though i lost
a dollar.
a tiny padlock
with tiny keys -
they do not fit the lock.
a girl scout badge
with one
embroidered
word -
“please”
someone else’s
debit card.
a purple tinsel spider.
some bad habits -
only one or two good ones.
and a vial
i fill with water
and call a cloud.
