Premium Member It Was a Good Morning Until

It was a good morning until…
I lost a hundred-dollar bill.
I cried “Oh no!
Why is this so?”

It was a good morning until…
the mail brought a bill for a mil.
My tears did flow.
I cried with woe.

It was a good morning until…
I wrote a bad check for the bill.
To jail I go.
It’s sad, I know.

Premium Member can you imagine a ten thousand dollar bill

The largest bill I have seen personally is a hundred- dollar bill
I do not like them
They are not as easy to spend as a twenty-dollar bill
Or a five- dollar bill
The largest denomination circulated was the ten-thousand-dollar bill
I would like to see a photo of one of these
But would not like to try and spend it
The stores turn up their noses at the hundred

Just Scrape it Off

Just scrape it off.
Like spicy, volcano crust.
It’s not anxiety.
It’s just the grumble of people.
The misty trembling.
Then the bridge of my nose comes into sight.
Just scrape off the old clinging stuff.
Grave voices.
I’m not anxious or nothing.
I’m just a crisp hundred dollar bill for no reason.
Smiling. 
Just scrape it off.
Which one?
Whatever makes me mad.

PREACHER

the preacher explains
as he travels tracks on his palm
he is on god’s path
helter-skelter tracks indeed!
the midnight express toots warning

reverend smith
with his superior air
mounts the podium
from the loft i can see
through the tear     his underwear

after sunday service
a hundred dollar bill in the collection plate
“praise the lord!” says smith
to himself     quietly covering it
with a five dollar bill
