Beside the X
by Alan Harris
|
Today I opened a checking account, helped by a friendly banker lady who pointed to all the X's. She took my driver's license and called a phone number to make sure people think I'm honest. After the bank finally permitted me to let it profit from my money, I walked outdoors with only lockbox keys and deposit slip as evidence of worth. How many bank accounts will I end up having? Is this one the last? (I get like this sometimes.) After I'm finished, will someone empty the lockbox for me? Turn in both keys? Will a bank clerk close my account efficiently while planning dinner? Will the friendly banker lady be pointing to X's for someone new? Will anyone know what's beside my X as it goes through the shredder? |
