Blank Cheque

Words and numbers make up my mind,

Names and places, dates and times,

A record of identity,

All the information contained in me,

Coded fear, cloaked to create,

A mechanically constructed human state,

As flimsy as a piece of paper,

Just one more cheque,

Then see you later!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This just came to me staring at a cheque that was sitting on the side

i like this because it is so symbolic of how we interact with one another anymore. forget the corner store where the owner watched you grow up. it's quicker to throw numbers on a screen and never deal with customer service. you've brought this point out so clearly. good writing.
