Lotto Life Spin

Addict rue bought
in check out line motion
five dollars worth
of elixir dreamtime potion.
Absorbent sacred numbered ball spinning...
purchased from holy grail line magic machine;
state blueprint sly sucker pantomime taxation...
proliferating pie in sky get rich quick dreams.

Attendant shop priestesses
minimal menial minions pillage;
operating lotto outlet shrines
serve worshipers paying hopeless homage.
Apollo’s oracle precisely programmed
speaks chosen erratic prophesy package;
in electronic statistical lines formulated
randomly selected spun ball bondage.
