All DebtsThere are four one dollar bills on my desk. The first one (San Francisco) has 256 written on the obverse in red marker, in a looping, flourished hand. I am not sure what is meant by the number. The number is written upside-down. There are two pinholes in the bill: it may have been stapled to something.
The second one (Richmond) has been altered by color. Washington's cravat and his hair have been carefully colored in with pink highlighter. The artist has been kind to the gentleman, and in the coloring has given the man a bit more hair than he ordinarily has. Above the portrait some pink ink has been smeared across "States".
The third bill (Chicago) is old for a bill (1993) and shows it. It is faded and thin, natted on the top edge, and suffers from wrinkles. The cloth feels soft under the thumb. I do not think it possible to lay it flat upon the table. On the obverse in the left margin a careful hand has written 98104 in a permanent blue ink.
The forth bill (New York) has no irregular distinguishing marks at all, and I do not know its story. I do not know its story yet.

We put it down and then we lost it. It all happens in the corner of the eye. Commentary accepted at pen@goob.com, although the traps are agressive and the pointy bits simply drip with dark liquour.
