Sitting in a swivel chair
looking every bit the writer
pocket notebook out
scribbling with intent
about neon blue pillars
and neon orange cubicles
and the neon lacquered nails
of one of the employees
who pads across the lobby
like the rest of the staff
suitless,tieless and generally unavailable
My toes dancing to the piped hip hop-
Wanna Talk Finance-
because they could in a swivel chair-
and overlooking the one kiosk in operation
a poster of yer man,
who knows fifty ways to kill the Mammy
suggesting a chat
to discuss my financial well being
When did banks get to swivel like this?
