The Vending Machine
January 3, 2011
Just one quarter short,
I crouch in search
of the money to complete my dollar.
I look under machines
and over them too,
wishing I were just one inch taller.
Then all of a sudden,
in the veiled change slot,
is the quarter I so madly desire.
I insert the coins,
but my snack doesn’t fall.
The one dollar sign was a liar.
