Pennies Pinched To Reminisce Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A smoozed and glamorized depiction of life,
Doesn't make the reality of living it any sweeter.
Especially for those awakening to discover,
Those good old days when pinching pennies...
Was a thing done to hide but with hidden pride.
Unless...
One is not hampered or beset by the choice of drug,
To be selected when listening to or sharing new trips!
Afterall...
Only those choosing to remain idealistic,
Seem to be able to afford their escapades.
With a choice as to how they will be medicated,
On a daily basis.
And pennies pinched to reminisce,
Is done with one who pays for that shared high!

'There'll be pennies from heaven for you AND me!
This stuff is great.
What is it? '
