In This Economy Even Businessmen Go Down

A man, like the market, can surprise you—

study him carefully while he uses your face
as a mirror, a screen.

When he unbuttons his shirt
he is teaching you kindness

and ruin he learned from his father—

leaving a wife and two kids, the crash at the office,
for a boy with your kind of eyes.
