AND SLUGS
By Chris Volkay


Leisurely, caringly they
pet their chin
“You’re very troubled,”
they will sighingly assert
“First realize it’s not your fault,
we’ll have to start on this without delay
should have therapy all wrapped up
in next 15 20 years
or so,
by the way I take

Mastercard
Visa
Diner’s Club
Discover
American Express
personal checks
two party checks
three party checks
blank checks
cashiers checks
bank drafts
cash
IOU’s
personal notes
escrow accounts
trust accounts
trust funds
mutual funds
interest in gold or silver mines
welfare checks
food stamps
stamps(domestic and foreign)
gold and silver bars
tooth fillings from graveyards
pork bellies
subway tokens
and slugs(as long as they’re not bent.)”
