Hooked on an Impossibility (2 Viewers)

[Mattemm]

I was on FB this morning and there was a poem about an old race track gambler and in the text there was the line

"Hooked on an impossibility"

Well I went back to see if I could read it again and for the life of me I can't find it.

The best I could do was to find another one that is about a woman?


"a woman that is not even a woman but a muse a dream a fantasy" Not what I was looking for.

Help?

"Hooked on an impossibility"

That's from the (aptly named) poem The Old Horseplayer, found in The Last Night of the Earth Poems.
