bus ride in mexico

in mexico
once. not knowing
the currency,
you handed
the bus driver
a bill. he gave you
change.
you took your
seat not
knowing that
what he gave
you back
was play money
from a children's
game.
he knew that you
had no clue,
and smiled
happily
as you took your
seat
and stared out
the window
at the vast wasteland
that was cancun.
