"Cards"

      
         
life wheels and deals, the cards we play in perfect turn
to check, bet or raise, decisions made real
for us, and others, the players
deflect, lie, speak truth, seek
hoping to learn
         
our proactive or reactive response placed in action
trusting, minds to admire, or be controlled
in this, we choose, often wooing
the stealer, who directs
cards, hearts, passion
