long line at the bank

guy shuffles along

gets to the front

pushes a bag on the counter

hands a note to teller

give me all the money

she hesitates but sees his gun

she fills it while pressing a silent alarm button

guy takes bag and calmly walks out

gets into a waiting car

they speed off into the suburbs

police sirens wailing

switch cars and ditch the stolen vehicle

no more sirens

they are safe now

drive to a lockup and park inside

high fives all round

we did it!

they look inside the bag

money is wrapped in plastic

ripping it open frantically

a dye bomb explodes

everything turns red

they open the lockup door

cops are waiting outside

money in bag had a tracking device

guy shuffles along

waiting in line

for prison food

bank teller did her job

cops did their job

robber is doing time

money is doing its job

life goes on

who’s side are you on?
