fdelano Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Odds Clay chips stack up on green nap, each a life’s gamble, as valuable as causes of its win or loss. A stack’s height can be hastily built, and teeter even as a short structure, or piled steadily high with care. The next pair of cards determines our chances and hopes as we figure the odds and cast our bet, our “tells” of confidence. When matches go well we grin like hell, thinking superior play has won again. Little do we know the odds fall as they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 The fragility of life succinctly expressed: I see the ebb and flow-- beyond control. How things once taken for granted can disappear-- and views on life that usually relate to personal circumstances change. Life truly is a game of chance--but how I hate that awful phrase, “nothing is forever.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdelano Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Damn, Geoff, I hate it when you're right. My stack is close to teetering. As in "Texas Hold 'em," I think I'll go all in. A pair of deuces ain't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
