My Own Self

As we played cards tonight
the bigger it got
the bigger the group got
the bigger the hand got
the bigger the people got
and for the card that slipped under the table
it left
for we could not find it
a spider had took it
from the day of the moon
the day of the night
as we slept through the night and the day
the day we merged to wake up in sunlight
the big unknown to play...
