Not at all surprisingly,
Today I found myself almost
Losing it again, that nagging
Sense I knew who
I was—you see
I once thought
I was a winner
And everyone else
More or less a loser,
My friends, what
A relief to at last discover
We all win and lose something
While ending up leaving
Not surprisingly always
Nothing in the end.
An excellent poem, conversational in tone and deceptively "simple" yet rewarding rereadings with new interpretations and feelings. The title, too, rewards contemplation.
