Bono recites Bukowski

Poem: "A roll of the dice." Bukowski advised us to "Go all the way", before Nike told us all to "Just do it." In this poem, recited by Bono, Bukowski tells us to be prepared to make trades and sacrifices in order to go after what we truly want. Is it possible not to have to sacrifice? Is it possible to have it all? As Steven Wright once said, "We can't have everything, because if we could, we wouldn't know where to put it." So for everything received, something is given up.
