She keeps an ace in her back pocket.
Just in case. She wouldn't cheat!
But metaphorically, sometimes
she holds a hand that crumpled ace
completes.
She grins.
It's quite a tell, but touches
far too subtly what she means.
That smile
could symbolize the world,
one crumpled card
in hand
with kings and queens.
