Vending machines.
I pay no attention to them unless
I'm on a road trip and overcome with
Thirst or dying for a snack.
But they seem to be stationed
Everywhere I look, vying for
Coins to feed their insatiable
Appetites for wealth.
I did my duty today and placed some
Change in two pastic bags, attached a
Cheerful note to each and stuck them to
The money gobblers at Walmart.
When I finished shopping, the coins
Were gone.
I wonder who used them,
Someone dying of thirst or someone
Who just wanted to grab a little
Extra change.
Whoever.
If it perked them up, it pleasures
Me too.
