Читать книгу Angle of Yaw - Ben Lerner - Страница 10

We call it sports entertainment

because the loser gets paid more,

because losing is hazardous,

because hazards are for losers

in the collective economy

of variable stars.

Rational actors wearing wrestling masks

would choose to lose collectively,

to collectivize losing

in the service industry.

I perform a valuable service

(I lose)

and I work from home.

Am I not then entitled to drink six beers

and watch some losing gracefully performed?
