There is no promise like the present
though the present’s not promise at all.
The grifter flashes a glimmer like it was
a sure thing. Clinging to these turns
blindsides what’s before the eye, a fist
behind dice. I want distraction even
more than you, but both of us lost
the duel when our seconds went missing.
