| She sat, attached by cord Sleepy eyed and adorned with beads Punching Spin on her 5 Times Pay Smiling weakly, meekly saying, "Could you watch my machine for a minute?" "Sure" I say and notice her punching the ATM, the sure bet of the day Back in a flash, more spins Then, bells are ringing She's won the Jackpot! She hugs me hard Says she only has $10 left in her account Been there since 3AM She's alone, she whispers, husband gone Only her beads and her books And this one Jackpot will change her life At least for today. She'll be back tomorrow. |
