Casino

We put in our 20 bucks
and sit down.
For each twenty-five cents
we get a spin at the prayer wheel,
in the hall of prayer wheels.

When we pull the red lever
the prayer wheel sends
it's question up to God
I watch as it spins;
say yes?

I know Who speaks
in the language of chance,
answers my queries with
random yes or no and seals
a small part of my twenty-dollar fate.
