Gambling Gambler

The gambler gambles because she has to.  Life is worthless without the gamble.  Left or right?  Make the bet, ante up, call, bluff called.  Left.  Roll the dice, coffee or tea, earl grey or lemon zest.  10 face up, two down, hit, five, seventeen, chance, hit, seven, 24, loose.  Terminal.  Chips on seven and three, lucky numbers, roll dice, four.  Refuse help.  One bullet, spin chamber, pull trigger.  Breathe or not?  Nothing.
