Snake Eyes

Christopher Hivner

Tell me one thing
then do another.
I love this game,
I always roll sixes.
Rule #2
don’t take responsibility
for harsh words
or cold rationale.
Wait, I know the answer,
it’s C,
what do I win?
Ask for a favor
then complain after it’s done.
This game is tricky,
I bid 4 clubs.
Tell people you don’t drink
then hide in a series of beer cans
all weekend.
I got this,
h-y-p-o-c-r-i-t-e, 73 points.
You know all
because you drove there
in your fuel-efficient car
and taught a masterclass
of things you say
but do not do,
advice you give out like peppermint candies
but don’t follow yourself
because if you did
you’d have to
clean the fog from the mirror
in the morning
and see
you rolled snake eyes.
