I pull the lever on the slot machine
This time not looking for three cherries in a row
But looking for the perfect combination of words
Which tells me just how right I am. That godlike
Dictionary always knows which page to open to,
And always puts my picture on the page.
We are both so brilliant! Reading is like
Looking in the mirror to find I truly am
The fairest, the fairest of them all.
Clickety clack I press the buttons
At the statistical, dictionary slots
Then watch it swirl. This one will be a winner.
I can see my reflection in its face, reassuring
Me everything's okay, and I am right,
And everyone who disagrees is wrong.
They just don't understand the words, the words
It plays for me. I nod and pat my pocket full of tokens
With a grin. Today is the day I win it all.
