Question

passage 2: poem — lottery ticket by maria esteban
folded once, the ticket waits,
in the drawer with dull keys,
quiet as an unopened promise.

every week i mean to check,
to match the rows of numbers,
but the hope feels warmer unopened.

some mornings i imagine
the thin paper shining in my hand,
the crowd’s cheer just past the window.

yet, even when i don’t look,
it keeps its secret,
reminding me that maybe—
maybe—this could be the day.
