“Welcome to the Stable, slave,” his Mistress baritoned.
He mounted the toy horse, the springs sagging from his adult weight.
Her black leather corset glimmered in the red light.
His Mistress was flawless
except for
the tennis ball sized cyst
on each elbow.
His eyes glared with the prospects of fresh adventure.
“LOL, the things I’ll do to you.
There must be more money.”
Without buildup, he began rocking with all his life.
“You’ll become either
an underachieving overachiever
or an overachieving underachiever.
You’ll feel old and decrepit every time
you listen to an oldies station
and remember when every song came out.
When you enter a room
and hear laughter
you’ll perpetually wonder why
you were left out of the joke.”
He furiously maintained his mechanical gallop.
“If you’re lucky, I’ll give you some tasks, slave.”
He knew the horse would take him east to new luck.
There must be more money.
I want you to suffer without changing.
I want you
to micromanage yourself
each time you cook a frozen pizza.
I want you
to spend 2/3 of each day
considering underwear
in the abstract.
The horse careening wildly, the slave’s eyes rolled to the back of his head.
“What is luck, Mistress?”
“you’re tawdry and wasting My time.”
“I don’t tolerate such insolence.”
He fell off the horse, landing at her patent leather boots.
“Omnis fortuna servitium est.”
(All luck is servitude)

What an interesting exchange. I could visualize these two actually, and somehow, it makes me laugh.
