Bitten by the Wheel


beware the coil

mesmerized
you count the bands
flashing black and red
out of focus

which way do they go?
no beginning no end
stealing your sense of direction

in devotion to the motion
you are caught in its teeth
too late to move

you lose

Sometimes you win.  I'm partial to that badit with one arm and the smell that quarters leave on your hand.

True enough, Martie.
I guess my optimism is not showing today.
But then, I can get mesmerized by a game of solitare.  lol  And lose 6 out of 7.

Krawdad~
'Tis true, we too often lose, but I have
to agree with Martie on this one.
Sometimes you DO win and that one-armed bandit
can be a lot of fun.
I enjoyed this.
Hugs,
~Vicky
