Rejected

The guy was hunched over the ATM
as if he thought
I was trying to read his pin number,
so I gave him some social distancing...

then some other guy cut the line ahead of me!
I wanted to shoot him a cutting remark
but he was kind of big and mean looking.

That night
I dreamt that I was trying to deposit
some of my new poems
but the ATM would not accept them.
Apparently I needed to change my pin number.

I changed it to 'poet'
I was still rejected.
