Poem: 38 Obsessive Coins


38 Obsessive Coins

I am not obsessive. I do not obssess.

I can see 38 coins on the table.
All coins nothing more.

But I also see 12 copper coins and 26 silver coins.
Unless you take into account the shine or level of tarnish.
Both descriptions work the same for the sake of organizing the coins.

If I were to go on…
There are 3 tarnished copper coins and 9 copper coins with a good luster.
I would say there are 15 tarnished silver coins, more lack-luster in shine.
That would leave 11 silver coins with a nice shine, a freshly minted look.
