with you
we can never cruise
we are consistently bumping around
jostling
turbulence and sine wave curves
are not as round and lulling as they seem
these are stock market exchange peaks
and dips
sharp edges that poke holes in your back and make
sure you are never comfortable

it makes me worry we will not make it until the end when we snap shut our briefcases
it makes me wonder if the stocks were this volatile when we were rookies
