transaction

transaction

 

 

resolutions discarded

promises sought out in payment

justification of insensitivity...

 

(delinquent funds of the heart)

 

and with so little interest

an apathetic credit card

with a higher emotional spending limit

is an oxymoron of sorts

 

just when i almost touched you

you closed your account

and i was left with no balance

to the paradoxical way i feel.

Hey Robert Creely!! I got to be aware of this the next time i put my credit card in the machine!
Clever putting "delinquent funds of the heart" in between the 'smiles.'
Once again, your quick, lightening-like metaphors are top notch.

Love this one. I think our "emotional spending limits" are worth mulling over.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

any exchange is only as good as the immediate satisfaction both parties gain from it...a decent insurance policy can be worth its weight in gold and given the right accountant, can very quickly be recouped...

Romantically bankrupt. Your lines left me feeling emotionally drained and in pain.
