The Joker's Curse

November 14, 2019

Does life resemble a deck of cards,

shuffled back and forth

On brighter days with Ace’s high,

dark days the Joker’s curse

And what about that Wild Card,

that one you can’t be sure

If it will serve to win the day

—or fold your hand once more

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2019)
