Like the polar opposite of a bank teller
I flatten my crumpled bills in a pile.
Counting is the lowest form of mathematics,
yet I have a hard time keeping track of my cash.
I lose focus half way through
thinking of all the things I want to buy you.
I want you to be mine, honey,
but I'm as good at this as counting money.
