Autumn and cold clouds
hover above the whooshing
noise of speeding cars,
highway near Somerville,
standing in the parking lot
of a shopping center
full of shoppers,
though the talk is of recession,
no loans to be had,
freezing the machinery
of commerce.
Cloud covering, the gray hue
is like an unanswered question,
or that question
you refuse to ask,
wondering about the mortgage,
how much do we owe
and can we pay it?
We're lucky, I know,
we've been in this house
a good long while,
so the loan's not too big,
but still, when I read of
that woman with the two kids
who couldn't make her payments
when her husband died,
I can't help but worry….
