A fair die
can not be bought off
by hot puffed breath
and rubbing of hands.
It's perfectly symmetrical,
with no unevenness within
in centers of off-center weight
to pull and shift with favored
spin that settles any settled way.
This die's mind was made up
at birth. They made it and they
kept the mold. Its sides and
surfaces are worth precisely
even facets, squared in perfect
and indifferent truth: of nothing
said or chosen first. This die
won't know until the physics
tell it to, and it won't add
a hint of lean, subjective
draw. But is that even
possible? Can such a thing
be in control? For look!
Each side has little scoops!
Each dotted with a drop
of white. But: each side has
a different count. Now: all
that weighs, however light.
It must throw off the calculus.
Or: what was done inside this
thing to subtly offset the count?
The one side must weigh more
than six, precisely by the added mass
of five less scooped-dot negatives.
I guess
so long as we don't know, can't
calculate upon the fact of tiny this
and missing that: this die is fair.
Hey wait.
This surface: is it flat?
