Game 81

CHI 113               BKN 86

I read once
the most popular card-game
in America is
Solitaire.

Pretty powerful metaphor, that one.

However it is
we choose to approach things,
we are a certain
undeniable
Alone.

Every second.

Even in a crowd.
Even in an intimate moment between lovers.

Even when we believe
We are playing against
One another.

In winning 
and losing.

Always.

At best,
each situation
carries with it
a pattern of tones and lights
that we must match,
or express,

or else
deal with that dreaded buzzer.
