The Fountain

Time is money but
I don’t see either of those things
floating around my neck of the woods
except for copper pennies (too many)
cast in as cheap wishes
swallowed up by green algae that collects
and coagulates thickly 
on the edge of shallow pools
and standing water—
the coins settle heads down.
