i say no

i say no

every store
asks me
if i have their
discount or
club or rewards
card -at the check out

i say no

they say-

would you like one?

i say no

they look insulted,
or as if i told them
they have a piece
of spinach on thier
tooth

i know i could save 5%

- but my wallet would
get as big as a brick...

again -

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
