The Cash Flow  

Money notes like staying in the bank
Where the meet and socialise with other notes
Of variable denomination
That is way I keep notes in my wallet as long as I can
Dislike breaking up a friendship.
Thrift has nothing to do with meanness it is simply
Not wanting to break up notes, hand them to
A stranger who has no feeling for the inner life
Of a money note.
The teller at my bank a fine man with caring hands
Thinks, as me he counts the money slowly
Often twice before handing them over with a sight
