Lydia Davis 2

I receive money

This is unexpected money

I know who it’s from

I didn’t expect it now

I must spend money

Since I’ve received money

Money should be spent

If one is a player

Money should be saved

Money should be safe

Money should be in the safe

Safe from spending

Saved for a rainy day

One does not have to be a player

One should never be cheap

Cheap rich people are the worst

I am not rich

I am nowhere approaching rich

I am merely another small-time player/
