And this exhibit illustrates 'Spare Change.'
A quaint conceit, the sandwiched metal discs
Are neither spare nor offer change; they range
From purse to pocket, feigning fiscal risks
While trying to stay current. We retired
Them, finding that our pre-existing social
Constructions worked just fine -- the once-required
Hand shake, the nod, the 'til-now antisocial
Text message (valued at a penny each
Above the first five hundred). Yeah, the statements
Are off, but no-one cares; the numbers reach
The "truly money" point without abatement,
While all that copper, zinc and nickel changes
To metal, earning nods at most exchanges.
