Waiting for What in the Bank
It’s cold in the bank
the metal desks marble floor
beige walls plastic plants humid papers
cold drinking fountain
aluminum elevator
chilly computer screens
cold hard cash
(you were waiting for me to say that)
and the people who enjoy their work
the guiding principle of theft
the air conditioning on high so
it can’t be hell, hell would be hella warmer.
I’m waiting in the bank
where they keep so much
I’ve been here five minutes or maybe
my whole life
long time
waiting
waiting in the bank
for redemption
forgiveness
charity
pity.
