Roll the dice
I let it ride on rented hopes
So I end up staring snake eyes
once again, like every time--
Tried charming cobras;
bit instead.
Rabbits, they can't run quick
When their feet have been removed.
Can't buy much with lucky pennies
when your hope stones sink the boat
Kept on swimming.
Started sinking.
Bolting for that little hole.
But serpents' bodies, long and thin,
having advantageous shape
and possessed of curse-born quickness
Are not wont to go away...
Past all guards and wards they slither
So, shivering, watch them pass
Right past all your best defenses
Good luck charms gave in to chance.
