Author's Note:
This was written for the Poetry Fiction Challenge 2025. The prompt is as follows:

When you go to buy a candy bar
And you've lost the dime you had—
Slipped through a hole in your pocket somewhere—
That's the blues, too, and bad!

- From "The Blues" by Langston Hughes

Many thanks to everyone who read over this piece and convinced me it was ready to exist out in the world. You know who you are. ♥

Also! The title is a poem by Gabrielle Calvocoressi.
