default

Many years of investments
In something so fragile
As bonding.
I put almost everything I ever had in it,
Almost all of me.

The sad part is that this stock market is a mess now
But the good part is that I stashed some of myself for me
Under my safety cushion.
That was the best decision I ever made;
The wisest precaution I took in my life.

Now when my nights are full of tears
And my days are full of fitful sleep
And my life is full of devalued sorrow
I remember vividly all of my bonds
And I think

Did I have an option to make a safer stake?
Could I have made a fortunate bet?

Well of course I didn't.
But what a life it could be
If wishes were horses
And I'd know the favorite in this race
Upfront.
