lucky

As a child I learned
The best place to find
A 4-leaf clover
Is in a patch
Where the sewer is
Bubbling up- seeping over.

Treasure can't be found in a department store
But between the cracks in the floor,
And only when you despair,
"There is no more."

(And only if you can stand the smell.
I learned this lesson very well
When I was just a child.)
