Playing cards with the devil

be careful playing with the devil,
he holds the cards close to his chest, reaching
under the table to swap and shuffle them to his delight.
be wary, then, but smart, attentive as you pull them from
your sleeve to win, to mock his evil powers. 
four aces will do to smash the skulls leering
out from under the table, they will turn
into the smiles of goodness under your
hand.
