79 ǀ day of swine and roses

Uno, this is uno, the Copeland design.

We feature a Ferris wheel cutout at the county as the wildcard
if you don’t mind,
steamrolling, helpless,
rickety 13,
a coil no more than 5.

You can slide if you want to—
slide if you want,

but
don’t
you dare
look
down:

culminating.

Draw the mad hatter my man!

It’ll be red or black—

one or the other
in due time.

That is my promise—
only $1 per game.

Dealer: We offer no other colors.
Skin us if you must, if you must, if you must.
We are ready for a scalping.

And as for you Ms. Cotton Candy?

Sadly,
there she went,
spun sugar,

overboard.

Note: Since it consisted mostly of air…
