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 -

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
