Even things up a little

The edges of the cards

A fixed deck
for you to play with
remember?

to even things up a little
I'm only going to play
with the lights out
so your fingers have to read
the edges of the cards

and as your reflexes
capitulate
befuddled by
some jack some smoke

I will garner
the light I carry behind my eyes
and watch you carefully
for the all-important switch
that takes the game
