The chain and three dice By Nathan Bednarek.

I bought the chain with my eyes
when I saw it on display –
no price tag, just a sticker that says

‘Special offer! A negotiable price!’
So I negotiated with myself,
Throwing arguments like dice,
and each argument always rolled a triple six
as if the chain on display
had all three dice jinxed.

I bought the chain with my eyes,
willed it with my flesh,
and all I hear are the clattering cries of my clattering dice...
