cards
long into the night.
there was
drinking.
laughing, arguing.
it was for small change
mostly,
rarely did you see
a dollar bill
or a five
go into the pot.
we were young, unmarried.
we smoked
cigars
and played music.
we talked
big talk, talked women
and sports,
we pondered
what tomorrow might bring.
we weren't even out
of the starter blocks
with life.
we played cards.
and in looking back,
i can say
with a straight face that
nothing has ever been as
fun as those nights.
