i would give you
a penny
for your thoughts
but you don't seem quite
willing
to let anyone
into your soul
even with
an entrance fee
of one penny.
offered
two pennies
a nickel
a dime
a quarter
and still
you would not let
your thoughts
so i just sat down
and waited
and waited
and waited
until you were
ready
to tell me
for no charge at all.
