I think 0’s
Are like a wild card
In number games. I think
Zero’s have wild-card
Weight. Like a
Slot machine
Of destiny.

Sometimes,
I can’t stand the warmth-card
Of living. Time’s game.
I think wild cards
Anchor weight. Like a
Lotto machine
Of restory.

In other words, zeros
Have their places, in history,
But not in futures, as a wild card,
Past weights anchor. Like a
Blotted technique
Of mystery.
