What Are The Odds
do you know
how lottery you roam,
do you see the lucky sevens
imbedded in your home?
the russian roulette
one in six
and casino etiquette
he falls into you
cards strewn across
green baize tables
a winning rush
you’re the one holding
a straight flush
everything aligned
the suits and the deck
to make the game of chance
dance in your favor
his eyes shine
lucky dice
and mine reflect
potential vice
it’s raining blackjack
just shy of 21
and dearest
you have won
and me?
well i am
a few hours past maybe
and you?
well you have
the house advantage
