a sane mans hand

A Sane Man's Hand.
_____________________

I've sat up many a drunken
Night,
Playing poker with shadows
And light,..

The light is always
best at bluffing.

(Shadows feast
Upon untruth like
parasites.)

Bartender...
Make it a triple
This time..

I'll be in the
corner mumbling
To My Selves,

(an odd series
Of broken
Rhymes.)

Staring thirstily
 at the liquor
Shelves.

Hoping I never
draw A Sane
Man's Hand!!

(Since Reality
Is My Hell.)
