52 Card PickUp
Apparently I wrote this on 09.04.04
Scattered about
each one with a purpose
without the others
it wouldn’t be whole
but here they lie
all over the ground
bent and torn
misguided roses
into the thorns and weeds
the queen of hearts
faced down
ace of spades
drowning in the sea of clubs
music tingles, inspires, evokes
sensations revealing
inner most thoughts
float to the surface
submerged by censorship
fear, juvenile displays of attraction
discarded and frayed
the diamond in the rough
covered in jokers
true virtue not known
here these cards lay
creating a masterpiece
of an abstract mind
