Disappointing/Shuffling cards
No. 1
disappointing news
filters through the radio
drowning out the tunes
No. 2
shuffling cards
hoping for the Queen of hearts
ace of spades digs in
No. 3
disappointing
- our politicians are
mostly charlatans
No. 4
shuffling cards -
the tarot deck - fool appears,
to gain the last laugh
No. 5
disappointing-
another day of pain
and exhaustion
No. 6
shuffling cards
with arthritic fingers
all fall to the floor
