gaslight

you've been tricked.
duped.

flim flamed before, but
not like this.

not at this level of the game.
which shell hides the pea.
which card
is mine?

the rug has been pulled out,
the trap door opened
and away you go.

the trick is done,
the joke's
on you. gaslighted again.

what a shame it is
with life
so short
to be taken once more
before your very eyes.
