cards fall one way
and stack another
the words held under
the breath stall
and what we want to
say is nothing
like what we do say,
but who knows
what the absolute
truth boils down to
so we hold our hand
a little tighter
and we imagine the
deck shuffled lighter
it all makes sense
in the end
as the pot grows and
the nose tells
exactly where the
aces lie
but no one draws the
royal straight
and no one passes up
the full house
so each hand we play
teaches us
to be honest and
forthcoming at best
