I glanced at you - an expression of calmness. You hold your alcohol well. You hold yourself better. Art holds me together, but it's all a waste. Paint left to crack, sxx, expended energy, words that will fade, alcohol pxssxd away. It's all a fxckxng waste. A taste of escape short-lived. Some hands were made for rings, others to wave goodbye. Love is art of a devilish kind. Survival of the fittest became a game of Russian roulette in the players hands. And we play forgetting that the bureaucrats are masters of counting cards. The barrels will fire either way. Sobriety will not save you and wine will deceive you. It's best to leave them for the masters and play your hand anyway.

The Dealers Hands
