13,555. IT'S A DARE

IT'S A DARE
To take a running chance on
something ephemeral makes
little sense to me. Before we
know it, the seasons have 
changed or the lights go out.
My wallet holds nothing but
leftover ones  -  the small
change from the pieces I 
had thought. I paid with my
life, and now all that's done.
-
There's a man with a shovel,
nearby, getting ready to post
a fence, dig a hole, or  -  perhaps  -
see how far inward he can fly?
By digging a hole to the center
of something? Is this earth strong
enough for such intrusion? 
-
Dare I bet he'll never make it?
