evidence of changing world

a couple of weekends ago anna asked if i had a couple of dimes she could use as spacers for a home improvement project she was working on.  a little lightbulb snapped on above my noggin.  yes, yes i do have two dimes, i said. i procured them.  they were just the right size for her doing an amazing job.  a week later i'm sitting in the backroom, laptop open, writing/reading/watching/listening.  here you go, anna said.  & returned my two dimes.  you could keep them, i responded.  & do what with them, anna asked.  i don't have a change jar to put them in.  i considered that.  i very rarely carry &/or use cash too.  i don't remember how i acquired those two dimes.  here are your dimes, anna continued.  i don't want them.  this isn't 1998.
