27 April 2026 For 'This or That Contest" 'With Fingers Crossed' Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh
Hands behind my back my fate is on the line cast into the abyss a hit or miss bite for me on the fly, I sent to see. Chance and choice entwined a fragile bridge over doubt serendipity in cold empathy with fate pressed tense, taut, fingers hard. Criss-crossed with hope's twine, I bargain with the unseen with fate's mouth agape waiting to see the outcome of the Chinese finger cuffs.
