the five-month cd
has matured
and come to fruition with
its piddly gained
interest.
i take my piece of paper
down to the bank
which is no longer First
American,
but Crestar,
and sit down
at Sally's desk.
but she doesn't work there
anymore,
despite her name placard
being left behind.
she had replaced
Bill from when it was Chase,
who had replaced Emily
from Sun Trust.
but now
it's a fellow
named Salamander, who is there
to help me
roll it over at 3.4 percent.
which he does.
see you in five months,
i tell him.
oh no, he says, not me.
today is my
last day,
i'm moving to another branch
when we become
Truist.
