Jackpot
(Written in Dublin, California,
when celebrating end of Golden Gate University courses, 12/16/1999 )
Its party time
–
People are
drinking and shouting
In local bars
and restaurants
Forming small groups
Maintaining
simultaneous conversations
Without much
meaning!
Its lottery
time –
Lotto machines
are cranking fast
Jackpot is in
millions ($)!
Darling!
Nothing
matters to me anymore –
As I am
sitting alone
Looking at the
mountain from the window
Just thinking
about you –
Feeling you
deep inside my heart
Saying to
myself –
You are my
jackpot and joy above all party!
