i'm waiting

when i was thirteen,
flush with cash from my
four in the morning paper
route
i used to lend
members of my family money.
i still have the wooden
box inked with the dates
and amounts they owe me.
mom, thirty dollars.
brother, ten,
sister, eleven dollars and fifty
cents.
all still outstanding debts.
i'm waiting.
