Fever Five, Seven Out

Not really sure how
it all boiled down to this.
Two dice.  And one roll.

I pretend to think--
to run the odds in my head.
Everyone cheers.

I lie and smile back,
like I know what I'm doing.
I don't.  Believe me.

I should walk away.
Of course we all know I won't.
Guess we never do.

No small stakes this time.
Do or die.  Win or wash out.
Am I turned on yet?

I feel someone's hand.
A pretty girl offers luck.
I barely hear her.

Dealer smiles at this.
Something he's seen many times.
And will many more.

He calls for my bet,
and I shout out a number,
close my eyes and throw.
