change

You walk by a man and he asks you for some change.
You go to a fancy restaurant with your friends and hear them how they want to change.
You see people talk about it on tv, radio, the internet, even on the random street corner.

Everybody wants it!

So here I am, standing proud and tall on the porch of 2012, looking with hope and gleam at the horizon.
I'm not on a horse but I believe I have some change in my pocket. I'm not sure how much though...

What I do know is that each coin is shiny, new and bearing an evil looking grinning man on one side, and a question mark on the other.
"In you we trust." says the message imprinted on the side.

I guess it's up to me to figure out how much change I really have. More so, how much I really need.
Then again... the best things in life are said to be free, so I'll probably keep some change for a coffee.

Deep serious shit, I know.
