Of Trust and Money

He’d done this hundreds of times Step up to the line and make two dimes* Small crowds, large crowds, no matter He sunk ‘em all, every record shattered Three dribbles, a deep sigh Swish! Easy-as-pie ... How’d he miss with the title on the line ~ blinded by those dollar signs __________________________________ *'Two dimes' is slang for two points; in this case, two free throws made.

Money and the game, any game, is always the plan, what will I do with my money, my attention wavers, and WHAM, BANG, I have lost the game, Why do gamblers normally lose, because luck is the next card, the next spin of the wheel or at the next slot machine. Although there is a huge difference between losing a game or gambling it away, both have to do with winning money. Interesting point made, enjoyed your write alot. Blessings Gershon, Jennifer.

Enjoyed your poetic weaving of money and the game. I wish I could have used the player's excuse.
