rocks, thinks he’ll find something

splendid.  Most of his life has come up

snake eyes.  The more he tried to win
playing it fair and square, the more teeth

cracked in fights.  His friend Danny the Raunch

found a wedding ring under a boulder 
by Syssygy Creek.  He gave it to his girlfriend

Wanda who was thrilled, who was pregnant,

who divorced him eight months later.  Now  
Danny sits on rocks,

doesn’t look beneath them.  Spacker will avoid

wedding rings.  He might find 
a small bank with a tiny teller offering him

millions of bucks.  Or

a rattler, disturbed, aiming for his eyes.
