I Hear Dejope Singing

I hear Dejope singing, the magical spin of the machines;

The ones of despair, hope, and luck;

The woman on her last dime, the old man betting his 401k;

The bells ringing as they hit the jackpot;

Screams of joy and happiness, and with it, the envy of others;

The silent clicks of the wasted spins;

The anticipation for the big win;

The prolonged wait for nine triple sevens;

I hear the gambler's, the high roller's spirit in every spin.
