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
