Memory Stamp


a dinosaur amid digital funds


i enter The Bank


pennies rolled in my pocket



passbook in my purse



it amounts to little


in or of interest


     but


if their digital data dives


down into
oblivion


i have my
paper passport


to not enough money


to pay for much of anything


     anyhow


stamped on
the pages


is more the
memory of money


of entering
The Bank


passbook in hand


peered at by tall tellers


    who


welcomed allowance in but not out


deposited
not debited


not even for
that very special


something


saved up for


weekly plus pennies accrued


over time in miserly interest
