It was a belated discovery.
Fifteen years after buying the
Badly worn club jacket
I noticed a break in the lining.
Further exploration revealed that
It wasn’t a tear,
It was a designed feature;
A thin interior pocket.
I was like a child finding
A magic pocket where stuff could be hidden.
What to put in this hidden, magic pocket?
Of course--- it could hold a credit card.
Seventy years earlier I might’ve held
A mystery decoder ring which
Gave the holder entry into Batman’s
Secret society, or was it the Shadow’s?
The following morning,
When my walking buddy & I stopped for coffee,
I was able to proffer payment from my magic pocket!
Ta Da! I was a member of that secret society!
