Pictures in wallets
are worst then photos in frames,
a memory locked away...
with a few small bills and some loose change,
we never did quite capture who should take the blame,
for all the terribly crazy mistakes
we couldn't explain,
Neither of us could stand the pose for too long,
at some point we found the courage to move on.
Even through we're both strong
we cling to the Wallet-Sized people,
And that can never be wrong...

The author's comments:
About those relationships, those connections, those people we can bring ourselves to completely let go of. That moment when you find an old picture of an ex in the folds of a old wallet and you can't make yourself throw it away...
