Cards Shuffle

New to arrive (this is default when late) Is a writhing mass screaming NERVES inside. The exterior is wide eyes. But in the past, much, much worse. Today what I'm wearing reflects not my feelings, but YOURS. My face placates with cool even gazes. I can see mirrors trade places with each one of your FACES. A deck of cards in the hands of a well practiced dealer. Performing the shuffling hypnotic and precise. The hands smirk as the cards are flicked flying to you. Now you are seconding guessing THE GAME. You are thinking maybe dice would have been better. Play your hand, now. Others are placing their eyes on your head, holding their place as they wait. For you to see what the cards said.
