11/24 Bounced Check

(Read More...)

Bouncing In the Void

It came back bouncing,
like a greedy ball—
a cheque I badly needed ,
now worth nothing at all.

“There’s no sufficient funds,”
eventually, they’d say.
“Try again later—
maybe another day.”

Or perhaps next month,
as if money might spring.
Who really knows
what tomorrow might bring?

This is no joke,
but the worst nightmare.
It might never be cashed,
never to be declared.
