Conversation

the man outside the library said,
there’s a place where they use balsamic vinegar
for money,
a place where they keep bottles of whiskey

in the bank.
                    no, no

they don’t deal with paper there,

          he said, as the cigarette
kept on burning.
it’s the flavor, he nodded,

          that’s their currency.

yes, i nodded,


yes.
