a mute bargain struck between
two coins
one agreed to land on its head
another on its tail
Fat Chance betrayed
one landed straight up
and another went for a toss.
Seeing as how Destiny
beguiles men
and forces them to choose
the coins sought unity
nickels & cents together
made the strongest men weep
never again did they
submit to Fate
never again did they
rust or perish
for they had
what most men cherish.
