Giving Banking

Some give and expect their giving to give back, like credit that returns, like deposits with interest, like bonds that mature.

But some give and expect nothing in return.  They walk on and away, and keep on giving.

Save the coin.

One coin in the wallet.  Lingers inside the dark pocket.  Rolls to one side and back to the other.  And stays inside, idle.

One coin dropped into the piggy bank. Clinks and chinks against others.  Travels miles, travels a mile.  Crosses borders, crosses the street.

To save a man.  To save an animal.  To save a tree.

Don’t save the coin.
