At the heart
it’s what drives us all
I’ll tap dance by it
noodle around it
I’ll say it
without really saying it
playing cards
with names like
Boardwalk
or Marvins Gardens
bold yellows and blues
simple plain
but still appealing
to the eye
eliciting spinning
cherries and sevens
yet I’m still beating around
the bush
it’s not the root
of all evil
nor is it the love of it
but more the lust
