the safest place in the house

the cupboards

above

the refrigerator

are unreachable without

a chair,

or ladder.

it's the safest place

in the entire house,

so that's

where i plan to keep my jewelry,

my Rolex watch,

my gold chains and other

assorted bling,

i'll tuck 

my checks and

stock reports

deep into the cave

of the box,

my will and tax returns too,

my Morgan Stanely

retirement report,

and a stack of cash.

no one would ever look

there.

maybe it's time

i opened those doors up.
