Last night at cards

In this lunatic house where I live
there are no mirrors

or clocks

and it's easy

to cheat

at cards


Shuffling the deck

God palmed

an ace

of hearts

in a cloud

of invisible smoke


Last night

when I saw

Groucho Marx

we listened to unseen

violins

(he wanted to go to the opera)


Groucho deals straight from the top.


As for God

He deals as he likes.

    Beatrice, thank you very much. We live in "quirky" times. The UK poetry establishment is in civil war, or at least something more than a skirmish. Control of air space perhaps?

    The poetry world should get on with reflecting the times.
