1918 Midwestern farm bank
Greek revival
In white brick
Oversized windows
Brightened the space
Until in 1929
Everything went dark
Decades later
Out of bankruptcy limbo
A ready return to the marketplace
A barber college
Then an upholstery shop
A daycare
A carpet store
A judo studio
A vape shop
Until in the go-go
Subprime mortgages of 2007
A hipster fever dream
Became reality
Renovation into a
Five bathroom
One bedroom
Bank home
Bullet-proof glass
Bomb-proof walls
Cavernous great room
Perfect for raves
Floor safes
Gleaming chrome vaults
Safe deposit boxes
Create amazing
Wine cellars
Stairs lead to a
Former security guard booth
Lined with inch-thick steel
Perfect for your in-house DJ
The bank dreams
Of a return to the dignity
And the slap slap slap
Of stinky judo feet
