Pudgy Indian

What if a word could save the world?
Connected with pain, sorrow, grief,
Love, pleasure, joy...

I reached into my pocket,
pulled out an old polished stone
and a lucky penny...

What does saving the world mean?

Another pocket,
wallet, tobacco, and down in the lint
way down at the bottom...

What if a word could save the world?
There isn't any, but it is a question
that doesn't need to be answered...

Other pocket,
pens, lighters, keys,
words...
