You Can Bet

You Can Bet

Hand in hand, they reminded
many of the past
when in "twos", hours rolled past
over sweet repetition on love things.

Hand in hand, they were a perfect
re-wind of a film
that almost set the hall ablaze
with wine and beer-scented laughter.

Hand in hand, they bonded through
in confidence walk that shined
in a fish smoke charged arena.

Hand in hand, they were ”eye-escorted”
to their seats by eyes that wondered aloud
their twin ‘"similarity."

In frenzied bet, tongues fell over
on who gives birth tomorrow…the man
or the woman…
another glass tripped over pouring a spark
to a convivial frenzy.
