"Aces, hurray!" Broke out coughing,
Then caught his breath as he fanned 
Himself while artfully bluffing....

 With three aces
in my hand,
I raise the stakes
looking dumb under bloody lights--

Can you have a mind
and not have a soul
Connection temporal,
divorced from the whole

Can consciousness live
for only itself
A hand with three aces
—His card left undealt

Farts ringing like bells of July 
They're as noisy as the crows that fly 
They like to see dirt on other's faces 
Like they are as perfect as kings and aces 
But none among them really took the guts 
To risk their limbs and their butts...
