There is no such thing as the fairy tale life
in which happy endings come true like in movies or books.
There is not a Pearl Moon where one can touch for yourself
when, in reality, one sees that you're drowning in black water;
Falling from the un-biddened tear.
Just the visionary appearance of the slot machine
giving way to match chance encounters, problems, and solutions
all driven by the factor of choice and luck;
Dank struggles even when to forging the self.
I guess I wasn't strong enough to live.
The end.
I know...
