Sonnet for the Stranger Who Saved My Little Career

We're the last of the middle class
North Americans, in hock
Up to our eyeballs, seeking
Yet another mortgage, yet

Another loan, so that the people
Squatting leech-like on the veins
Of depleted capital love us,
Count us among the reliable

Worth lending more disaster
To. From here they don't appear
So awesomely terrifying.
Bank clerks. Ha! What banker

Ever wrote a proper poem? Oh,
Right, the man in the four-piece suit.
