So he threw all his chips on red Thought only of what was in his head Which turned out to be shots of dread For his seeds planted in young women's garden bed Without nary water or breaking bread Or nary knowing the breaches of his and her homestead So he rushed down stranger's alley shed On a runaway, wrongheaded cocky sled Through her banks, he crashed her spread Like a raging, raging thoroughbred Nary was a thought of a rubber glove on his dragonhead For the buried absence of love was in his heart of lead There's his wife at home tucking their kids in their bunkbed While he flirted with the forbidden apple instead It was this night that lives in infamy for others to read this dread For the news broke of a married man impregnating a young coed Accosting such teen to what now proves to be his deathbed Yet if he unwinds his c(l)ock and placed his chips on black he wouldn't have bled Petering out the ills in his marriage he would have been freed Now he shrivels in a shameful battle of what went through his head

I came back to read this. What a maze. I see a little lab mice running through the corriders of temptation, going this way or that, looking for that sugar cube. I see it racing, like its addicted. Then I look back at this poem and see a correlation.
