The Gambler Poem by Garnet Robbie

The Gambler



supreme affliction:
materialist complacency,
swarming to defeat desire,
milling about extinction.

No winner's rewards -
loss is the touchstone:
How much can be thrown,
gambled on snake eyes.

Tomorrow is for losing,
Deeper into the vortex,
spinning endlessly,
nothing for nothing

endless meaninglessness,
a gambler's paradise,
where nothing lives,
where everything spins.
