A lucky Day For Me


What a lucky day for me.

A suprise in a pocket. 

You would not believe.

Started the day, cigarette-less. 

Broke.

Needed some cash.  So I could smoke. 

Found myself packing an ex-boyfriends things.

Put on his jacket. Which I had decided to keep.

Pulled out two fives.  Then a few ones.

Twelve whole dollars.   

Felt like the lottery won. 

Got so excited. Thought, hey, lets see...

Maybe there's something in the other pocket. 

Just waiting for me

Poked in my hand.

Withdrew it with a smile.

A full pack of smokes.

Enough to last me awhile.

What a lucky lucky day for me.
