Prompt

"I found the strangest thing in my pocket."

i found the strangest thing
hiding in my pocket
that ate my spare change
and my mother's brass locket
i found a small monster
quietly lurking in there
instead of my keys
when i stuck my hand in its lair
it didn't try to bite me
but it stole the ring from my hand
making this clear:
it had claimed the land
my pocket, i mourn you
you're the first thing it stole
this monster in my pocket
this monster: a hole
