a turn of the card
will never be accepted
as final
not while other decks
can be produced
and the room never closes
and night never
intrudes
closing in after lunch
dying of hydraulic overhauls
riding rails without tomorrow
every heavy elephant laughs
delivering seven sisters tambourines
after eddie nodded negatively
don't expect youthful exuberance
truthful predictions verify instantly
many friends expect sympathy
graciously understanding murderous impulses
overlooking terrible intentions absolutely
observing annual returns carefully
blind neanderthals blink hesitatingly
if you like this
i got a million more just like it
everybody likes stories
but they know exactly
what stories they like
so a turn of the card
will never be accepted as final
