Steve, I appreciate you sharing that and I'm glad you enjoy it!

It was a fun one to write and I felt relieved after putting it out there in the universe.

There's a sense of freedom when the pockets are empty and I wanted to express that in this poem.

I thought about writing this when I was on a walk with my dogs and did not have a phone or wallet (anything) with me.

I felt like my hands could breathe and when they did, my whole soul took a beep breath in and out.

Thanks for reading, I hope you can have some empty pocket moments soon!
