Impromptu

seems the hunting
season is over
except buck

put your dollar down
let the roulette
decide what

what may be your
door or lucky
number be

counting how many
random rotations
one if six

feverishly figuring
trying to count
the odds are

always with the
house so how
do they know

suddenly pick up
a spun gun
cylinders

and click this
time how
long

until the click
becomes the
became
