the bank teller

you keep all your
money in
the bank.
but the red headed
manager
with a stern face
and buttoned vest
makes it hard for
you each time you
want to take some
out. three Id. s
a thumbprint
your mother's maiden
name, and
your account
number please, he
says, while smirking
below
the portrait of his
grandfather
who started the bank.
it would be easier,
putting on a mask
and holding up
a rubber gun
to get your hard
earned cash, than
it is this way,
in line at the teller.
