Memories are
Pick a card, any card,
except you do not choose
Well
we all carry a card or two
up a sleeve, lain
on the table
hence playing with
A full deck
is rare
52 weeks
shuffle like thrown-up
cards, now the
Five of clubs
Demands your decision.
Go fish for
another
Hand read them
like palm lines
to call or stay
this time around
Krazy 8's and wild
Jokers interrupt as
I shuffle through
these days,
Solitaire and surprised
at the random nature
making a game
Of dealing with it.
