peeling off some Benjamins

i click

the dials of the safe

and pull

open the door.

i need

some money,

some paper money, some

hard cash

in my pocket.

i peel a few Benjamins

from the stack.

i feel like buying

something

frivolous today,

something

i don't need, but want

just for the hell

of it.

i'm open to suggestions.

but by the end

of the day i'm

opening the safe again

to put it back.

there's nothing i want,

something

i'd never thought i'd say.
