The Payment

Invoices go missing, receipts too. I’ve just had an unbelievably funny (in the end) experience with a missing receipt. Has this ever happened to you? …

THE PAYMENT                                       

my receipt flew out
July’s window

swallowed by Internet
tossed world-wide

to be webbed
on an open gate

blown cyberspace
by a paid-up pal                                                       

thence eaten digested
regurgitated through

an organization’s flux
of volunteers

passed a bank clerk’s
interested gaze

to a quilled ledger
where Bob Cratchit

cried ‘Eureka’
in January
