Zvi Sesling is a poet of the stacked deck, and the loaded dice…take his advice! 

 

Snake Eyes

 

Everybody know the dice are loaded

— Leonard Cohen

 

Yes, the dice are loaded

against you

 

Roll ‘em and snake eyes pop up

like the back of a cobra

 

Listen for the hiss

play your flute

 

Watch the sway

beware of the strike

 

The bite

venom like a coke I.V.

 

We don’t know outcomes

seeking without knowledge

 

Loads the dice

against us

 

— Zvi Sesling
