5120. POWER-BREATHE

POWER-BREATHE
Now it's come to this big nothing  - you say you'd
rather have been the snake or the one who did nothing 
or who did the tempting, rather than the one who fell. 
Oh, what the hell. How does it matter anyway? Some 
kid is watching a dragon on the screen  -  fire from a 
mouth and people falling dead left and right. 
The kid's elated, stupid little jerk.
-
I can't make heads nor tails out of the cards you're
playing, and if this was strip poker I'd have been naked
fourteen days ago. Empty rooms, empty pockets.
