The deck held to my chest
Each suit tucked tight
Folded in fat fingers waiting
The choice at each turn
The option to fold
The joys of a win
The pain of a loss
The quick calculation
The gambles and gambits
Why do we even play?
Life is a difficult, unrewarding game. And yet, the will to live drives us on through everything it throws at us. What is in this game that makes it so addictive?
Written to "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers.
