Analysis of hard graft



Morning....getting ready for work

my suit looks immaculate
i turn up my collar
slip the tie round
creating a perfect knot

you spin me
kiss my lips
step back
laughing

your last words galvanize me
"lets go get em tiger"

later that day...at the bank

nobody goddamn move
remain calm
or we'll start blasting

we only want the goddamn money
