It's Just a Bank, But

by Jeffrey Parren

when did Bank of America
become the
Bank
of
“Se habla español"
America?

Remembering the days
of
George or Mary
now
I walk in to pay

while being greeted with
a "Hi"
sounding nothing
like
what I remember

nametags
read
Jorge and Maria
I
am confused.

Making my payment
I
walk out the door
and
automatically wonder

if I walk into Banco Popular
that
George and Mary
have
changed employers as irony.

Author's Note: To defend myself, I speak Spanish well enough to survive in a Spanish-speaking country...I guess I just realize how things are changing a little slower than others do...

Ah yes, the diversity that is America.
