conversation with my broker betty

i tell my broker

betty, who also does my hair.
what's left
of it

to secure my stocks and bonds.
it's reached

a level of, okay. that's enough.
i don't want

some psycho messing my
retirement up.

she says, i'll get back to you
on that.
you don't want to miss out

on the wave it's on right now.
going up and up and up.

please, i tell her. i don't want
it to all blow away

because someone starts a war,
or another virus
pops up,

or God knows what happens.
just put it all
in a suitcase and

send it to me and i'll put it all
under my mattress.

enough is enough
