the odds play better in your favor
when you rely on yourself
you make the decisions
the choices
you determine the response
the odds play better in your favor this way
10 times out of 10 when you rely on yourself
you know yourself
and you trust yourself
you’ll win the hand
so why play roulette
why bring others into your time
your space
your concern
your attention
why would you roll the dice waiting
for a match
desiring for
the marble spinning on the dial, ticking around with anticipation
to equal the same number and color you bet on
craving everything matches as you want it to match
what are the odds you win
almost never
almost never will you get a winning hand with these odds
and you still play them
may the odds be always in your favor
even if they’re most definitely not
you might get lucky
and isn’t it why you play anyways,
for the thrill of it, the pain of losing it,
or maybe not, maybe you play
for the hope of connection
and hitting the jackpot
