Investing Once Again in Love

Where two risky endeavors
share a familiar, oddly overlapping world.
Both,
deep-pocketed by one or more syndicates,
race the bitter truth. 

He,
who can afford the potential hit from love,
was brought to meet her
during downtime on a summer day.

She told me that
success
was
gratifying,
but
night was better
next to me.

They understood
they might not see the world
open up and master the gamble.

Then,
my favorite movie began
with racing stars you can’t get away from,
another common thread between the two.

Before becoming
stories and long held traditions,
the down stretch
invested in partnership
bred
faster than luck,
which holds
the
never
lost success
within.
