the all night card game

neither good nor bad

at cards

i get bored.

the pot is too small

or too large

for me

to involved.

i fold with three aces

and go stand by

the window

with a cigarette

in hand.

the lights are blue 

outside. the other

world is asleep.

i hear the ocean

approaching,

relentlessly,

wave after wave

crashing into the sand.
