The flip side of my triumph is your
Disappointment
Anger
Rueful irritation
The obverse of my failure is your
Joy in victory
Extraordinary or
Mundane
The touches, tallied
Sum to zero—
Either way, the balance is
The same
The Powers that Be don’t care if you or I are
#1
Only that the sheet is neat, correct
And signed
A lesson here
In cosmic disregard for our
Concerns
So bugger them
Let’s change the
Nature of the game
Invent a different currency
That multiplies with every touch
As we test
And challenge
Amplify our repertoire
Arm our imagination
There’s no cap on
Insight and experience
A jackpot that pays out from
Every bout
