#2,656 Inveterate by this age

Inveterate by this age
across behaviours – a
habitual fall from any
height is common [in
depths we’ll tread to
keep our heads ‘bove
water] & as a seventh
decade threatens our
sense of worth we sit
& shake that tumbler
to roll dice & still feel
that chance is on our
side – ne’er lose sight
of pairs of numbers –
put a tenner down to
beat any odds set – In
our loose-wire minds
auld connections will
fail – how we’d always
do ‘it’ is easier to bear
& believe – ageing is a
killer of re-inventions
