The proof is left
as an exercise
for the reader.

The faith is right
as leap of inference
for the believer.

The time is up
for the watchmaker
who anticipated it
with every tick
that tocked.

The luck is down
for gamblers
who tried it
just to make
an easy buck.

The step is forward
for the random walker
just about as often
as the step is back..
upon the tightrope
proof of faith
is in the luck
of timing.

Timing of the steps
between belief
and fact.
