teller, at the drive through,
Kamil,
tells me about
the new 4 percent
interest in saving accounts.
he insists
i go in and talk
to the manager.
you are wasting your money,
he says.
i nod, i smile. i know, i know,
i tell him.
but he persists.
i'm not doing your transaction
or giving you back
your id until you
come in, he says.
come on Kamil,
i tell him, tomorrow,
okay.
i promise.
no he says, and reaches in
his drawer for
a gun, he shows it to me
waving it at the window,
and whispers, now.
come in now or else.
interest on savings accounts
have never
been this high,
get in here. get in here now.
okay, okay, i tell him,
don't shoot,
let me pull around.
