Placing Bets

PLACING BETS restless impatient mistakes cold regrets of new intakes it takes one night too long placing bets high and strong holding wild cards too close wrecks those we love most shut up sit down first class let down dark velvet midnight talker filthy clay grey alley stalker burning flames fast fuel pace day late ultimate disgrace shut up sit down first class let down getting ready as rains fall heavy let it fall fall fall once again unsteady placing bets no regrets © Kim van Breda
