a mother's son

A Mother.
The social services gave her coupons
to go buy her son an Islander jumper
and boots, now that late October had
morning frost on yellowing fields.
At the shop, when it was her turn to
be served, she was told to step aside:
“Paying costumers first”. Her shame
burned the boy’s cheeks.
On the way home she broke the silence
between them: “ When you are poor
you have to tolerate rude people.”
The twelve year old didn’t answer.
