early Sunday morning
Dancing is like bank robbery
it takes split-second timing
— Twyla Tharp
black spray paint to cover the lens
it’s nearly 4 pm at the ATM
the sheriff’s passed out
his deputies going through the motions
three wide awake & calling final finals
two approaching REM sleep
& one sporting a newly pressed uni
by the time she steps on the gas
the black F-150 & yellow forklift
cruise down county home road heading for
the safe house
while back on main street
the Bank of Podunk USA
is soon to find itself
down one 24/7 teller
july two thousand twenty-two
