Two dice, thrown blindly Three times every day Of my life, and every time

I throw two ones. However many Times I try, each die comes up One and One. Like a rhythm, like a

Drum, beating the tune of my life like It was Valentines today so I thought I Might try something new, something

That wouldn't end in the result of Two dice I held in my hand, tight while I climbed up inside The Shard, 87

Floors of glass, reflecting my hand, The viewing platform approaching fast, And at last, here I am, the top of the

Tallest building in London; me, with my Two dice thrown down, done with Fear and expectation, but also a

Sense of ultimatum. Two dice fall at twice the speed I can Charge down so I'll never catch them

But they will not break, so if I can Just see where they land I know I Will finally rid myself of this damn

Inevitability I have of eternally throwing Ones heart is in his mouth as I Find those dice have landed in the

Gardens of St Paul's Cathedral, I spot them easily; they are twice the Size of me now, puffed up if you will

With self importance and an odd Sense that the corner of one eye of God is mildly interested, or incensed

With this show of pure trickery, but I know it's no joke; these are Two dice, thrown blindly

Three times every day Of my life, and every time I throw two ones. However many

Times I try, each die comes up One and One. Like a rhythm, like a Drum, beating the tune of my life like

It was impossible for me to ever see Anything else other than two dice Staring at me with two ones

I breathe, I sigh, I laugh, I cry I kneel, I try to imagine my life Without two dice showing two ones

I can see the two dice now, and I can see the numbers I have thrown; Two ones; two faces; two people

Two hearts, ever repeating love Tumbling numbers, from Heaven Above, ending always in one on

One. Two. Three. Times a day I think of her, always Lost in a double singularity of love.
