Alea Vitae
Gamble of life
Life and death,
two sides of the same coin.
A daily toss-up,with a 46-year streak.
Law of averages—a stranger at best.
Nah, I’m a lucky gambler,
odds in my favor.
But what becomes of you,
when the will to toss
drifts into a coma?
Backstory: When the Game Stops Playing You
Every day, we wake up and life tosses the coin for us. Our job is to catch the coin and play along.
We tell ourselves the odds are in our favor—that we’ll outrun the averages, outplay the game. Some of us get lucky. Some of us build streaks so long, we start believing luck had nothing to do with it.
Until one day, the hand that tosses the coin… goes still.
This is for the ones who never got to call heads or tails. For the ones we lost to the toss of life.
Some bets, we never get to make.
