Penny Thoughts

An avocado pit lies broken open
hollowed out tender sprout.
A wall of rain is broached 
with a tilted brain.
Who steals in increments?
Loose change at the bottom
of a purse, pennies short.
A cold pear waits
against the desk light.
Bite down hard, break skin.

Storing items at the bottom
of an empty coffee can  
reminds me of another time
when we were holding
ourselves solid against a wall.
