Even though I usually forgot it
Here are reasons I like cash in my pocket

Street performers who create delight
Hungry humans who need some food tonight
Broke humans who’d like a cigarette or two
Artists offering whatever beautiful thing they do

Chocolate shops with edible works of art
Parking spots that aren’t yet smart
Street carts selling cheese eclairs
And not yet friends who need bus fare

Even though I usually forgot it
Here are reasons I like cash in my pocket
