Numbers. Sequence of Numbers. IS there any order? Can numbers go like the roller coaster? Can I ride the highs and coast through the lows? 432. Numbers in nature. number of dimples on a golf ball. I look up. The dealer smiles. "Black Jack, again." "Did a black guy named Black Jack invent Black Jack?" I ask somewhat innocuously. There's a guy sitting next to me. He's a hedge fund manager. He wants to have a drink with me. "So what do you do?" he asks. "Redistribution of Wealth," I answer. "You're a funny guy. You know, someday, someone's going to whack you. You look way too happy." "I can take care of myself." I order a Hennessey, one for him and one for me. Honestly, I don't like anyone but for a few moments, I actually like this guy. "How do you really play poker, honestly?" he asks. I look at him for a while. Should I tell him? I don't know. It's kind of risky. I don't like to reveal my trade secrets. "The dealer's card is the only card I cannot see. I look at the body language of the dealer to see if she makes one bodily gesture, however minute, when her card is good as opposed to bad." "The dealer hardly makes any motions." "Then I look into the dealer's eyes and see a picture of the card that she just saw. My eyes are that good." "You're fucked." He laughs. I get back to the table. 432. Switzerland. Redistribution of Wealth. Sequence in numbers. What are numbers? Presupposed absolute units in space. only God has the ruler. Did one apple express oneness? Numbers. I look at the dealer. She looks at the card, there is no movement. I hit. 18. I win. Danke Schoen. She's a beautiful Jewish girl. very dangerous. very intelligence. sometimes i can feel the power of her mind overflowing to my space, her platinum halo exploding ever. Switzerland. Freemasons. 23. One billion dollars. One million to each follower. Can I do it? I get back to the Hotel. Then I go to the graveyard and dig out my money. I dig it out. Then I go back to the casino and get all my bills changed to 10,000 bills. I buy a nice Gorgio Armani suit in Ceasar's palace. I shave all my hair. I buy a wig. I buy women's clothing. IN front of a mirror, I change into a woman. I'm ready. Switzerland. Sound of Music. RoW.
