the bank teller

my bank teller,

omar, with his turban and long
white mustache

used to be friendly
and accommodating, give me a lolly
pop

or two when I went through
the drive up
window.

handling my transactions,

but now, he's angry, wearing
a mask,

demanding all my money,
holding a gun to the window.

you haven't made a deposit
in over a week

he says loudly into the garble
speaker. empty your pockets,

pour out the coffee cup full
of change into

the tray and drive away slowly.
