Numismatic
saying anything to permanence isn’t
playing and the reverse is also true for
worth. so i therefor am speculating.
rare coins? it is important to note
the glint of its face in the light of
day. its value in luck. its maker. its
flash in a pool of a million stupid
wishes- to be a prettydead girl- oh to kiss katie- oh
to be a shiny coin. i saw you this
way at the getty- a confident, hard
metal state among collectors. a wish in a
smile on your face- a silhouette that
sits in sand ocean or attic, safety boxes
or pictures in a collector’s book. one
moonish perfect skipping wish of
cold copper and silver and gold- alive
in the hand- dead in a photograph,
which i am glad of, no matter the
aperture, as you stand at the getty
so i don’t have to speculate.
