From How To Play
Cheating at Monopoly
for Jon
Do you remember when we got married
during a game against your dad?
I gave you a dollar for a dowry.
You gave me everything:
Park Place, two railroads,
a handful of houses…
Our Scottie dog
lost to the car in less than an hour,
but after a lifetime of
bank errors and beauty pageants,
our game is the only one
I remember.
