a lady outside a bank
her handbag on the ground
anybody could yank
it away from round
oblivious to all
writing the total
checking the check
moved the purse
to the shelf
anybody could have
helped himself
looked at her receipt
glanced at length at it
turned away - caught
in her own thought
this action at a time when
the world is getting grimmer again.
her naivete admired
or her trust desired
