Second Story
 
Pockets

 
  Quarters change into nickels.  Whole
keys, half of phone numbers:  gone.
 
At times, there’s a special place for a watch.
Time vanishes, but never completely.
 
Only your name doesn’t change,
though you put the card in again and again.
 
Remember Clarke’s claim:  a science whose laws
you don’t grasp appears to be magic.
 
Black holes draining energy from small objects.
White holes spitting out lint.
