the market

it's up a few
points, then down
a hundred,
up a few more,
a dozen or so.
it's a rollercoaster
ride
that you'd like
to get off,
but no one is able
to tell you
when to quit, when
to cash in.
when to collect
your investments
and at last be done.
the broker tells me
maybe next year,
just work a little more.
one more deposit,
one more churn,
one more roll of the dice.
i've never been
able to get her foot
out of my door.
