I am a crushed penny that lies forgotten pinned beneath the rocks of a railroad track.

Once I was seen to be a romantic gift from one young lover to another

but now...

Now I lie awake through all hours of the night waiting for the inevitable roar of a steam engine passing over my head.

I listen to the laughter of foolish kids who walk upon these tracks only evading death by fragile moments.

I wait for a new companion to fall beside me.

To lie within these rocks with me for eternity.

And make no mistake there are many people like me.

People that were crushed on steel tracks and forever lost within gravel.

For now however my story will stay the same, and it is the story of a worthless penny.

So don't take it too seriously

If I was human I know I wouldn't

because I don't want to be forgotten again.
