LUCKED OUT

Life is a lottery
Chips to be cashed
Dice to be rolled
Bones to be cast
Probable outcomes
Shuffled and spread
Whatever the top card
You’ll sure end up
Dead!

Teel confesses: "I was watching a heist movie–I think it was Five Against the House—and it occurred to me that in all the heist films, the prime motivation of the protagonists is usually bad luck in their lives caused by a gambling addiction. And, of course, thinking they can fix all their problems with ‘one more job,’ ‘the biggest score yet’ is obviously still part of their addiction to the thrill of it."
