Two pretentious hands shuffling cards in place <br />Dealing hopes for a perfect day with dexterity <br />Discretely viewed by a man with a subdued face <br />Warily contemplating the possibility of prosperity <br /> <br />Dreams swirl within the scope of opportunity <br />Make plans in advance for a future that astonishes <br />Scenarios are locked out that lead to insecurity <br />As his cards are revealed… elation diminishes <br /> <br />Observing long sought joy in the face of another <br />Drowning in a sea of uncertainty…dealing with reality <br />Standing with the weakened knees of a philosopher <br />Seeking the probability of buoyancy…theoretically <br /> <br />4/23/08<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/probability-3/
