The family on Elm Street here in Madison
moved out very suddenly. The neighbor
between us told me that they had lost their home
to Chase, or some other bank. She was a teacher.
He worked at a bank. Not Chase, I don’t think.
I did not know them. I think they had kids.

She was a teacher. We think they had kids.
I Google Zillow listings in their towns.
I am beginning to want to know them,
and I think I would walk down the street
to visit. But it is too late. I get those robo-calls.
Flyers from outfits that will pay cash, quick,
for my house. Sight almost unseen. Guaranteed.
Vacant houses bought by rental outfits. You too?
The neighbor who told me all this is moving out.
