‘credit union’
by
it's called a family transfer,
when you bid the bank to slide money from
your account
into one with a negative balance
belonging to your sister.
it's the tax you pay
for having traded your dreams,
for having thick skin,
for your guilty conscience.
where is the family transfer
which can carry these across the miles:
a healthy mind,
a healthy body,
an unbroken heart?
if the bank could transfer these,
you would raise your yoke
and plow the uninspiring fields
with the force of 200 oxen.
