Gambler The weather is a gray pall of steady rain He wonders if it will stop mid-day .... or not Will flurries get serious and turn themselves to deep snow Shall he take out the shovel or the snow blower instead or not... Shall he go back to sleep or go walking in the woods regardless of the weather, be surprised of what comes or not.... He opens the radio, resolving to himself: if it plays his favorite tune again, that's his cue if the phone rings and it's her strident voice breaking the airwaves if that crow flying over trees will land on his deck if that rabbit will sneak into the empty doghouse today that's a go go, not a no no. life to him is as whimsical as a butterfly's wings emotions so shallow he could float a feather in their depths winning at cards like commanding the wind to stop or stealing gold from the sun's glitter so why not make life's choices simpler...flip a coin be willing to risk everything to the gods who hold his hand that's how his day will be made. |
