Johnny found an Indian head penny
under the seat in his truck
yellow Chevy
primer paint
Hey, sis, you want this?
You could put it on a chain.
these thirty years later
I wonder about its worth
Red Coin Book says
it isn’t valuable, not rare
those book people don’t know
It’s a portal to see
Johnny
still seventeen
shiny brown eyes
shaggy hair
what might
he have been?
*dedicated to my brother.
