If today the world stopped having dollar signs
it would truly be chaos at first,
no more paychecks,
and banks closed,
work gone and business discontinued.

Unless we all just agreed
plastic still was good,
then debit and credit cards
would keep things humming along,
absent vending machines and pay phones
or any place that only accepts cash.

Still assuming that fantasy failed,
there would be no debts,
forget the creditors and salesmen,
all you got would be used for trade,
barter the only option.

Aware everyone else is in same situation,
can imagine some sharing of goods in stores
might be a major option
since even the police aren’t likely
to keep serving for free.

Be a time to start over
finding friends to create survival camps,
while figuring out one solution at a time.

Adjusting to a reality totally insane
that you make rationale
with creativity and a whole lot of luck.
