To Span the Great Divide

How seldom do things work out the way you say I haven’t any figures yet but i’m sure it’s rare and happens less often still despite that incessant mind. We cheer for things turned right and in our favor, fully and totally, for all is well with winning tickets won. The winning was always to win it was only a matter of time before the losing came about with strokes of great precision It was this all along, in hand with great hope to doubt fate or destiny or some like word— ‘chance’ we have often said (chance that we should master it and say it worth the wager chance that you were holding some refuge from the loss chance that i was out no more than what I cast) for chance and hope alike to span the great divide.
