The Highway Is For Gamblers


Seldom Scene: It's All Over Now, Baby Blue





A certain man
once lost
a diamond cuff-link
in the wide blue sea,
and twenty years later,
on the exact day,
a Friday apparently,
he was eating
a large fish
but there was
no diamond inside.
That’s what I like
about coincidence.

--Vladimir Nabokov
Laughter in the Dark
