Poker:

~~

All the cards are held in your hand

A rainbow coloured full house and yet you stand,

You’ve dealt your family a pair, red numbered two,

But deal me in? I still wait for you,

Push you away if I demand.

~~

Driving fast, rough hands, held knuckles,

Hurried embraces, unclipped buckles,

The crowd’s gaze, your rising fear,

Someone will notice, they’ll shout queer,

If you were alone, you’re not, we’re doubles.

~~

You can win though you still fold,

Then with me you seem so bold,

The next hand you see a numbered straight,

If only you were, I wouldn’t wait,

And longing to play, I’ve no chance for gold.

~~

Games we play, you call me a queen,

Though card I am is never seen,

My suit of choice is my heart,

My other choice to never part,

Your family waits for you to come clean.

~~

Your grip in this game, a tight choker,

Your last hand, two, a joker,

And I wonder why

...did I ever play poker.
