The Gambler

I was belatedly applying the brakes
as I went into the sharp, blind curve
and my focus was on the other car
coming at me across the narrow bridge
so I didn't see the little sparrow plunge
between our speeding tons of metal
until it had already shot through the fast-
vanishing gap, descending diagonally
to flick safely into the tangled bank
flashing past beside the road.
                                                  Oh Life,
you wild gambler! Give me more.
