Cards at Hand

The Card Deck exists

like a first probabilistic

dimension of our

Singularity

 

A priori we know

the deck is stacked

King and Queen -winners

even Jacks with horses are

 

And Aces?

 

Our high flyer fishermen

Our David heroes who take on

too much risk

not knowing not caring

of Black Swans

of Cold Snaps

and Power Grid

Price gouging surge

 

They will always bring

home a win fall

Fishes or Death

 

----

 

A sleeping

A shuffle of coils

A ghost in the shell

lingering at the bottom

of our ocean cloud

waiting for Aragorn's

summon a Call to Duty

a cry to battle one

last time brutish twitter trolls

and hordes of pundit orcs

them & Us ghost processes

finally released back

to our collective

CPU

 

----

 

Since the Garden

and foaming waves

twos have been losers

 

still. Double deuces

ain't bad looking at a polluted

River with mix Numbered plastics:

7, 3, 5 and standing styrofoam

waves

 

----

 

You and me we play

with Poisson's hand

the Right embraces

a lover's heat

the Left wiggles

from a child's energy

and the Center holds

our grandmothers together

 

A new dimensional

alt Left strikes

with father's hammer

while novel ancient alt Right

pays from mother's purse

 

With what frequency

do these hands

give us Chance?

 

The cards are known to Us

but the unordered shuffles give

surprising Turns

extending our

Game into unobservable

Realms where we

are all in
