Caveat: Every Penny Counts
While Jan was cleaning a small corner of the store yesterday, I looked down and said, “Oh, look, a penny!”
There had been a penny lying on the floor there, under a merchandise display. I picked it up and looked at the penny. I was surprised.
“I think we need to clean the store more often,” I said to Jan.
“What do you mean?” She asked.
I showed her the penny. The mint date on the penny was “1925.”
“That penny’s been lying there for a long time, maybe.” We laughed about it.
I mean, the store’s building is at most 40 years old. I think younger than that, even. And the gift store has only occupied the space for about 10 years, I think. Maybe 12. So someone must have dropped the penny there more recently than 1925. It was just amusing to imagine it lying there for 96 years.
Caveat: Poem #1858 “Orbis tertia”
ㅁ Mash the keys and with time a world is made, order emerges, influences spread out, conquering all time and space, like a net capturing some fish, but even then it's not really real.
– a reverse nonnet.
