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
