the game

grey clouds shuffle across the sky poker faced does he have the cards? should I take the bet? I’m lost in this…. game

black cat meows at the hollow moon sour faced does he know the limits? should I follow him home? I’m lost in this…. game

golden hair women laugh on street corners painted faces does he give a shit? should I play along? I’m loss in this…. game

red lady bug crawls across my shower spotted faces does he understand the game? should I walk away? I’m lost in this…. game

blue eyed boy dancing in the corners blank faced does he remember every question? should I ask? I’m lost in this…. game

green grass rolling up into some joint stoned faces does he want the prize? should I let him be a winner? I’m lost in this…. game

I’m lost in this…. endless game
