Market Futures

The ad above the seats reads —

Intrusive thoughts… Appearance … Causing Significant Stress?

She reads the sign and immediately hates how the man sitting below the sign acts —
a loud in the cellphone talker

She sees him nearly everyday on the train hates how he dresses
what he represents

Her father lost it all in the market in ‘08 —
shot himself in ‘09

He is an excrescence on her eyes

She thinks Judith and Holofernes —
modern take!

She sees his head in a large Tupperware —
no more ponzi’s
no more bankruptcies

Foreclosure follows

This is Fall, at 3:50 p.m., on 10/22/2020. Jamaica Plain, MA. (22/31)

“Do not fear mistakes. There are none.”
