going to the bank
because there are no lines.
no one
goes to the bank
to do their transactions
anymore
just me
and a few other mid century
antiques.
i like to pour a bucket
of change
into the machine,
patiently
waiting for the churning
to stop
to get my receipt.
i like to stand at the desk
and fill out
deposit slips
or withdrawals,
tens and twenties please.
i say hi to the tellers,
Fred, Kamil and Margie.
the manager,
the assistant manager.
young whippersnappers,
but they all know my name.
i grab a lollipop
to suck on while i wait
for my check to clear.
i like the bank.
it's nice and quiet
in there.
