the boasts of toads:
lust takes them into traffic
-and leveling consequences.
unless they somehow find
the miracle road, hit split
aces with a pair of jacks.
i'm familiar with that track
though i seldom win at cards,
i kept looking for the princess
in the deck, between
the aces and the clubs
as if april followed november
just a clown at the microphone
hoping for a warm deceleration
in the pace of time, because
enough yes is rare,
some effort is required,
some thoughts to spare
in this dim room full of guzzlers
ordering another round
of easy deception,
with chasers laced with
sunny paradises
unlikely to be found.
