Ready Player
I’ve been handed
Several cards
From your deck
Luckily
I’ve learned the art
Of Pokerface
You played
A losing game
My hands
Don’t deal the same
Lose
Or win
A new cycle begins
We
Are not the same
I
Am much more
Than our name
...
The apple
Has fallen far
From the tree
Cut down
To play
These cards
