Passing by the City of Sort Poem by Kristin Dimitrova

Because we didn't buy lottery tickets
we missed our chance to rule the world.
Our bus takes us away through the mountains
while we chew over the omission.
The ticket money is poisoning our pockets.

Maya: They said in a film that if you
don't buy a 200 euro dress,
you become richer by 200 euro.

I: In New York I took a look at the
Chrysler building but it was a no deal.
Not at this price!

Maya: You've saved your money. They
tried to sell me the Louvre
but no, sir, I was not buying.

I: Why, I refused an offer for Taj Mahal
complete with North India. So what am I doing
with all this money now?

If you stop before buying the world,
you will be infinitely rich.

If you buy it, you become a beggar.

If you are like Maya and me on the bus
at least you have plans.
