prose poem

I remember when I first noticed my father’s bills and coins’ collection. We were still living in Mexico City and I was about nine years old. My father used to travel a lot back in the day because his work demanded it. He used to go to different places to get the best prices for the cloth he used to make the bags. The place he visited the most, and therefore the one with the most bills he has collected, was China. To the day, he has collected dollars, australian dollars, pesos, euros, pounds, Chinese yuan, suiss franc and many others I don’t remember at the moment. Every time we go out on a trip as a family or individually to a new place we try to bring back some of the money used in the place so he can put it on his collection.
