Solitare

Solitare is a game Strategy? Suspense? Quite the game I can remember the last card I drew A meaningless red king The king had nowhere to go Nowhere to place himself No queen to lay with And there were the seven of them all in a row I saw Jack and two I read the numbers one by one Ace in the hole Then I lost the whole damn thing The game of solitary confinement The game of life? The loss of the loss of himself The gain of the plot of the wealth The jibberishly mulled wine words of the mind I am running out of time And the time is now -Jess
