Slot Machine.

Three cherries, sevens, or aces.

Symbols spin like all the faces.

I feel hands on my shoulders, lady luck.

It’s over again, what the fuck.

Thirty-three scaring me,

youth moving on like the sea.

I don’t think you’re coming,

or maybe you were never on the way,

am I really that unlucky or was I never picked to play?
