what are the odds

your horse
doesn't come in.
he doesn't even
finish, he comes
up lame
around the first
turn.
there isn't a
single number on
your ticket
that's picked
in the lottery.
not one. your
numbers aren't even
close. you can't
even come up
with two pairs
in a game
of poker,
and your high
card is a seven
of clubs, so
you wonder, when
you meet her
and she says,
I do, what the odds
are of this
working out.
