Broker

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Broker


love is an industry
its stock soars,
then dips

a bat in flux
investing is a risk
but we can't reap its rewards
if we don't gamble our hearts

Ah the frailty of stocks and shares, is it a bear or a bull market out there? Having worked in the Glasgow Stock Exchange for a couple of years I get this metaphor completely. Another that takes the reader and paints a picture that can be felt and understood.

Ah, yes. Good little write. "love is an industry" this should be a metaphor rather than a simile it really drives the point home. I guess the broker would be the safe zone for me lol.
