Before the game of gamble starts
it is already paid for.
Your losing is only the matter of time,
not poor probabilities.
And your winning is as superficial
as the time’s constancy,
a pendulum that never arrives
no matter how fast and far it goes,
no matter how many steps
on the staircase of time,
no matter how good a player you are
or all the good players you've already chosen to be
and you are already an audience of,
