my reward points

i jump

through all the telephone

prompt

hoops,

spilling out

the last four digits of

my social security number,

and the sixteen

digits on my card

and redeem my chase credit

card

reward points.

i have thirty thousand

seven hundred

and thirty-six points

accumulated, which amounts

to 29 dollars

towards my

current bill.

i can't help but think of

the peso.
