Analysis of The bank account says NO
Forget yoga, she says,
I want to practice boxing.
My chest can already feel the blows.
From two sides: also from the heart therein.
Pluses and minuses and
Advantages and disadvantages
and I want to be with her.
The bank account says NO.
Her heart, though, breaks
every time she hears that awful syllable
No matter what the language.
Oh, God, I could really use a windfall
RIGHT NOW.
Yeah, I didn't think so.
