Poor Saturday

Sat in a bank. That was a bank. That is now only a bank in words; in architecture too. In function it's a gallery. Hang on: in words it's a gallery . So, in words it's a bank and gallery. Better words required: it was a bank. But, it still is: it was built to be a bank, and zero demolition has transpired so, it's still a bank. But all the money's gone. The tellers have disappeared. So. What is it. It is a was a bank? It is a gallery was a bank? It's a bank is a gallery? It's architecture; it's a building, about which the words gallery and bank buzz, as the function of moneyless art transpires.
