two kids

two kids 
one dropped penny
in a large grocery store full of tired parents and screaming babies

two kids
both so different 
in place so normal it was insane

but then again not
for those two kids 
normal didn't exist 
nobody told them it was wrong
to be who they are

they were both brought up 
in supportive homes 
with loving families
but still felt alone 

two kids in a grocery store
who fought against forgetting 
who they were behind their faces 

two kids in a grocery store 
bonded by fate 
stuck together by dropped coins and broken dreams 

two kids in a grocery store 
you and me.
