Defying
The Odds
In
One’s Favor:
A winsome cardsharp,
ready to ante up,
feeling that tingle that precedes
the
accumulation of silver coins.
Out
Of One’s Favor:
The ministry of chance,
making pithy observations,
trying to manage the scandalous,
eager to tighten the grip
on a catalog of activated and far-flung probabilities.
In or out,
both,
such seemingly fathomless pipe dreams.
