s/he keeps turning up like a bad penny

1
what makes a penny bad?

2
isn’t it true that some bad pennies are worth more than good ones?

3
how much trouble could it be to find a bad penny, anyway?

4
isn’t a pocketful of bad pennies still worth something?

5
if your bad penny has been beaten by time and trauma, it will pull your fingers to your pocket far faster than a good one will. if your bad penny is made of something other than copper it will be warmer to the touch.

either way, you will worry it and play with it. you will hold it longer than you would any good penny. you’ll keep it, show it off, dream of it, cry if you lose it, die with it on your mind.
