Chance

Resting on the movement

swaying on the rampage

which holds me up

 

that image: deceitful buoyancy

precocious in its affront

vicious in its labyrinth

no steady hand

controls its path

it stays upright, not with will

but impish whim

 

it threatens constantly

to swerve its meandering course

to drop finally in destitution

leaving me bare
