An EMPTY table awaits.
Soon, the game is set out.
We TEACH the novices –
Carefully – no one left out;
No THIEF of joy at this table!
I look up in the midst of play:
I see THREE faces
Now one focuses,
Now one smiles,
Now one grimaces:
Ah what you are winning again!?!
Laughter, frustration –
All mingle in the shared
Delight at the moment.
