Shoulder to shoulder,
We'll stand side by side,
One hundred times over.
We'll watch the wheel spin,
Roll the dice across the table,
Throw our chances to the wind.
Hoping for that one possibility,
We continue to press our luck,
Until our pockets turn up empty.
The neon lights will glow,
Long into the night,
As the clock seems to slow.
The combinations are endless,
The permutations are exponential,
All odds stacked against us.
And yet your hand somehow,
Always finds mine,
Maybe not forever but for now.

A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.
