the bank robbery note

after
the bank was almost robbed,
the criminals
caught
in a shoot out,
they find the note
on the floor, asking for
all the money
in small bills.
empty the safe it says,
put it all in this bag,
or else.
but on the back of the note,
is a grocery list.
bread, eggs,
milk.
ice cream and potato chips.
beer
and coffee.
Greek yogurt and pistachio
nuts.
then there's a little heart
with an arrow through it.
love, Emily, it says,
be careful and
hurry back.
