Poem
My wallet,
Made of shining black leather.
I bought it a decade ago,
From a Lacoste shop.
It fitted well in the rear pockets
Of my blue denims.
It was happy,
Stuffed and loaded with notes,
Of different strengths.
It even looked overjoyed when
I tucked in your photograph
in one of its slots with a tiny window.
Whenever I took it out,
It smelt like a bank, and
we, my wallet and I,
Were a pair of happy-go-luckies.
Despite its blindness,
It could perceive, to my amazement,
The shades from the smells:
Of cash in particular, and of
Seasons, apparels, wine,
And earrings in general.

My wallet 
Retired with me a year ago, and
The both of us knew,
Happy days would be over soon.
I remember the night,
When I heard it murmuring under the pillow,
With unusual stammering and nudging.
Worried about its restlessness,
I asked,
- what's wrong with you?
After a long silence,
I heard it saying,
- what are these stiff cards for?
- the sharp edges are cutting my belly.
- where are the sweet smelling notes?
- what good is it, for me,  to be folded,
- without the invincible greens?
- I'm missing them like never before, and
- my pouch is empty. I'm starved.
I had no answers, and
Sadly remained silent.

My wallet
Is aged and slow now.
Tiny dog-ears are growing out of its corners, and
A foul stench emits from its bruised and
No longer neat leathery folds.
However,
It hasn't lost its sense of aromas, and
Money-wise arithmetical brilliance.
It hates ATMs, and complains
When I slide in a two-grand note into its fold,
- what are you feeding me with?
- you think I'm a tramp, huh!
- what is this scrap of cheap paper for?
- and two-grand in one ordinary print!
- For heaven's sake,
- how am i going to say 'keep the change',
- after i buy you a twenty bucks cup of latte?
- it isn't my kind of accompaniment,
- begone with it, goddammit!
This is money now - I replied helplessly.
And my wallet never speaks to me again.
