The theme of this poem is very relevant to us today, mainly because we as humans had experienced a lot of “losing” in the past, and will experience much more in the near future. He/she somehow points out that losing is a natural happening to us, and we have to accept it. We have the persona here joking or fooling around throughout the last stanza despite the many losses he/she experienced, which somehow shows his/her optimism towards this art: “the art of losing”.

She is an influential tradition in Philippine literature in English.
