Throw the coin down
and eventually
it’s gonna hit the bottom.
It may take a long time.
It may make a really faint noise
when it finally hits.

You may have to take a fucking nap
or two
before the final ‘ploink’
when the metal meets the splat
but eventually when you drop the nickle
after it falls
at some point
it’s gonna find the nadir.

Everything does.
Just wait.

Then,
after you’ve heard the ‘ploink,’
figure out what’s next.
