Press withdraw. Choose savings. Take everything (but you can let go of tenths and cents).
Secure the hundreds, the thousands deep into your pocket. Where to now?
A chicken fillet meal and a regular fries and soda won't hurt, eh?
Reward yourself. Pay your rent and your debts. Pay your taxes and get caught in the traffic.
Be imaginative and comely with your fashion. Shop to the nearest thrift stores in your area.
How much is left?
How much is left for the next fifteen days?
Do not forget to buy your groceries. You live communally,
but your smell is YOU.
And then there are beers to drink. One bottle is useless and so is two.
A day could be a thousand worth of what you have taken from that machine
and you have fourteen days to count. To live. To earn.
To retell this is to relive the cliched cycle of your fifteen days as a worker who works
for (noun here).
