Fiddling with the Truth
By Mistress Shadow
Fiddling with the truth
I flip it between my fingers
1---2---3---
How many tosses can pass
before it slips through?
The un-denying fact, it exsists,
for it falls finger over finger.
Perhaps one more minute,
and the air will catch the coin,
perhaps 2.
Procrastinating to spend the penny will only leave justice
sitting longer on the shelf.
