Early Bloom
Signs of spring
stir city dwellers
tired of cold weather
with unfounded hope
for better days,
optimistic,
despite loss of jobs,
homes, security,
dreams of the future
thoroughly shattered
by bankers, brokers,
ignorance, greed,
endless troubles
briefly forgotten
with the first blossoms
of forsythia.
