Remember S&H Green stamps? I won a toaster
but haven't picked it up yet. Not a gambler by nature,
I lose in lotteries, at Bingo, even get hammered
at Scrabble. By the way, is "Din" a word alone?
Useless knowledge come too late in life.
Who in this world will let me win something--
spare change, free balloon-festival tickets,
discount coupons to shop in creative economy zones:
which chamber of commerce can I call, cajole?
What literary prize can I reward myself
for writing half prose about losing, not loss alone,
but a way of life, will to power buried in a will to lose?
