Insert Coins


Smoking at a laundry mat
Insert coins
To watch the twirl of your clothes
Insert coins
To strike up a conversation with a stranger
Insert coins 
To fill the space of your empty evening
Smoking at a laundromat 
Your average American
Living their life in a snow globe
One
Focused too much on unity
The other
Focused too much on independence
What do you believe?
Insert coins to be set free
