Solitary Confinement

Solitary
 ( confinement ) 

Sitting alone, fifty two in hand.
Fate dealt what ?, to this man.

A gift of four beauty Queens, 
before these eyes stand,
 what is it ?, that life means
for the man in his house of cards,
a man who attempts to play the game of bards. 

A realization that life, sometimes, is not fare
especially for a man that plays games of solitaire, 
who knows, in the end, will never get him there .
