His addiction takes him over to
the bank he did business with.
He brings along the essentials;
A forty five and a laundry bag.

He stands outside his old bank;
He hesitates as he contemplates
and complicates what could be
his final effort to become wealthy.

He asks himself the question of
'Is my next move worth the risk? '
He surveys the people inside
before making his conclusion.

'No...no it isn't...but...is it a risk
if I know I will get away with it? '

Michael Fischer
