ALONG THE WAY A QUARTER

Finding himself
a Quarter on The Way

the Stroller sat to have A Think
on his Good Fortune

the Walker would not stoop
to pick it up

the Runner
didn't even see it

Although all got there,

the Runner, streaming sweat
(turned into dust)

the Walker
had to spend a month (in bed)

the Stroller
(with his quarter)
took the bus
