Bent

I've tried so hard
to fit myself into the slot machine
but my penny is bent.

Someone offers
to lend me their penny
but
I
refuse.

I search
for a bent machine.

  so I wasn't quite sure how to word myself...I just wanted to say that I really dig this piece...ha however gay that might sound, but I think it's brilliantly worded and it's almost as if you were describing the way I am and live my life...*shrugs* it could possibly not relate to me at all, but that's just the way my mind percieves it...and with that said *bookmarks*

  This is very good. The lack of desire to conform the the rest of he world, coupled with the want to find the right place to be. Faving this.

  talk about impressive comment towers, it seems i am late to critique... but try as i may, you are ink tongue girl, and your writes always offer unparrallel advice and wisdom, and alternate thought... bravo.

  you changed it. Its much shorter. You manage to get the same message across. However the imagary is somewhat lost. i still like it though.

  If my poem is published in an anthology, do I still have the right to have it published in magazines and/or my own book?
