The Fifth Ace

Monotony is a fleeting existence; small and simple, yet overbearing and heavy-handed; paternal in nature with demeaning discipline. Improvement is not inevitable or impulsive, instead enigmatic at snail-speed. And we look to the heavens to reveal their cards; four omnipotent aces cry out, unimpressed, knowing all along the location of their fifth brother, flirting with the hand of God.
