The Heist

Posted on December 18, 2015 by purplepeninportland

Written for:  Poets United Midweek Motif~Design
Please write a brand new poem about design or about how a specific design succeeds or fails.

Five men at a table–
one designated driver,
one blueprint expert,
one techie, and two
season thieves. Bank
under their surveillance
for one year. Bleary-eyed,
they finalized their plans.
Handshakes sealed the deal.
Get in and out quickly,
all watches in sync, pink masks
in place. Morning of heist,
the men pull up at the bank.
It is closed. Not one man
remembered this day in
November was a bank holiday.
they pointed at one another.
Brother in crime returned
to the drawing board.

    And so, once again, the flaw in the design occurs so no one can be perfect …
