Happenstance Hazards

Expectation's misdemeanors
     outflanking volition 
infringed upon experience's
       self-imposed options,
griping on about whirlwind's
      imposing velocity to
  which atmospheric pressure
     has naught resolving power
  whence high tide pressure rises
       persuading tendencies,
universe hardly questions 'why' 
   to phenomenons' meddle,
psychobabble' s deliberations
 deluding  prospective trespasses,
conclusive interpretation hence life
   is but a crapshoot game of chance

I think it really is a crapshoot, i.e. I believe in free will. Although we wouldn't necessarily know. Anyway, they who have the most ammunition can take down the most crap.

The odds may be a little better in a crapshoot. I love your style, Paloma:) How funny, my captcha letters are NYC

Yep, roll the dice and see where you stand on any given day. Sometimes lady luck smiles on you and sometimes she stabs you in the back. Nicely expressed my friend.
