CHANCE

CHANCE

spied you
playing with dice

betting as you were
against the cosmos

maybe
it would be better
to play with fire

sad to see you lost
sad to
    tell everybody

something to do
with cursed sequence
and bad fractals

I know this
been there
done that

watched from my
fiction of a promontory
as everything ran
down
    hill from here
Valentino Rossi
popping a wheelie
in sixth gear

thought
  I could have
another go     another throw

by unanimous consent
agree to reconsider

last last chance
        the dice so obviously
heavily loaded
ninety-nine
     times out of
a hundred to
cast snake eyes
