The night I missed the lottery,
I dreamed I won the lottery.
At first, when I woke up I dreamed
Of an autobiography
Starting more euphoniously—
“The night I won the lottery,
I dreamed I won the lottery”—
But soon I was awake enough
To remember I wasn’t in
The lottery, and no amount
Of dreaming compels victory
For non-combatant bystanders,
Unless one imagines symbols
Can be read out of dreams, meaning
Something won metaphorically.
Screw that. I’d rather be wealthy.
