Time To Say Things Poem by Tom Courtney

Hey Han
Know what happened today?
Yeh all over the news
Did you see the Nikkei?
Yeh. dropped 9.38%
Yeh, biggest one-day drop
in 20 years
Yeh, U.S. goes down
we take everyone with us
How much you lose?
You mean today?
Don't know yet
Probably about 6000
Amazing
Yeh
In three days about 24,000
I figure
Thought I was retired
Have to think again
How much this year?
Don't know
I figured last 12 months
78,000
Oh, I’m down more than that
Oh, sorry
Why'd you invest at all?
I wanted to learn about it
Expensive lesson, Han
Why'd you?
It was that or CD's
Oh, so what now?
Don't know
Wha'du you say?
Here today gone tomorrow
Time to say things
Huh?
Time to say things
When you play the game
You either win or
You say things
Oh, yeh
