Texas Hold’em

As we sat in the dark,

Under the distant light

Of streetlamps and dim stars,

He dealt a round of cards

On our table of synthetic grass.

It was a little strange,

Playing a game of poker

With people I’d least expect,

But it was a small joy.

My skin tingled a little

Underneath the gentle breeze

As we navigated rounds of confusion

And comical wins, and losses.

The only thing wrong with tonight,

Is the effort to commute home.
