Receipt

Not for the store.
I kept the receipt because for a minute everything felt easy again.
Everything felt easy again.
Everything felt easy again.
It's been riding in my pocket through every workday train.
Getting softer at the corners,
But the ink still knows your name.
Funny how the smallest things outlive the bigger plans.
I kept the receipt.
Not for the number.
Not for the date.
Not for the store.
