getting lucky

on a whim
you slap down
a ten and say
give me ten
random numbers
for the mega
million lottery.
it's up to three
hundred million.
the man behind
the counter
smiles and grins
while he fetches
a hot dog from
the roling tray
behind him
and says, you
feel lucky today.
not really i
say, but what
the hell, it
would be nice
to have a speed
boat on the bay
and a condo
in nyc, and a
house at the
beach, and of
course to
dole some out
to friends and
relatives, to
those you love,
in need or not
in need, it
wouldn't matter.
why not. now where
did i put that
ticket.
