on gambling and life
So, yesterday and last night into early this morning I swam at the shore; for maybe my last time till texas, white trashed it up a little, painfully realized the importance of sunblock and comiserated with many other addicted souls around a green clothed table.
We share our downs and our ups and a few of us even got out ahead. The lucky ones broke even, humbly scampering home with the golden knowledge of when to leave. I rode a rollercoaster between shirtless, up to a euphoric frenzy and quickly back down to threadbare. I'm still here, badly sun-burnt but more sore from the sting of the loss. I should not have been so bold; "pigs get slaughtered" said the sage who quietly cashed out four large chips. I never really gave back my winnings, as when I step into the casino I consider everything in my pockets the property of the house. I probably should have drank more towards the end, but I wanted to be there for the soul who kindly drove me home. We beat the sunrise again. We were young again.

I want grass clippings stuck to my body, a you pick two; of salad and a sandwich, aloe for my back and a good nights sleep on my stomach.
I feel if fate existed, i would be owed this little
