i have so many pens
all over the house.
and i tell her,
in case i need to jot something
down.
like what?
she asks.
i don't know, a phone number,
a thought,
maybe write a check.
what's that, she says.
a check?
it's this slip of paper that
comes in a folder
from the bank
with sequential numbers
on it.
it allows people to take money
out of your account
for payment.
huh?
no Venmo, no PayPal?
no credit or debit cards?
nah. i don't trust that sort
of thing.
online banking, etc.
i bet you have a butter churn
in your kitchen,
don't you, she says.
