"still here over one hundred years." This makes me think of Virginia Woolf's novel 'To the Lighthouse' because it states something like, "a kicked stone will outlast Shakespear." What I find so fascinating about this line is that even though they be pennies they will outlive us - in a way.
"Maybe one day it will be all zinc," this one makes me think about how reality is loosing ground to what is perceived to be real. One day it will all be fake, cheap, and mass produced.
I swear I can feel the weight difference between an old copper penny and the modern zinc filled ones
Well, copper is heavier than zinc so I think you are correct!
Josh, I liked this one. thanks for the poem.
