The Risk Man
By S. Aziz
The Risk Man sees differently
The destination he knows not
But the avenues and their likelihood
Flow through his veins
Complexity and doubt
Reduced!
To a distribution curve
Choices but mere numbers for Risk Man
Consequences irrelevant
So long as the avenue matches the desires
Borrow his glasses I do not
For they are spectacles of permanence
And while stocks trade on a market
Life does not

My thanks to MP for posting two poems of mine this week. I point out to readers that one is a “fun” poem and one is more serious in nature. I am not a poet but I thought this could be an interesting place to try my hand. I enjoy reading others’ poetry here as well.
