METAPHYSICAL POKER

the next moment

will show the face card

your royal flush

or your mere one-of-a-kind


if you're stupid you'll bet the farm

and wish you hadn't

if you're smart you'll stand back

a little and either fold or shoot it


no matter what you do

it's on you to do it

listen (you're told yet again) to your

inner voice if it bids you to fold


but if it tells you to bid do it

knowing your three-of-a-kind will blow out the pair
