up ante

One time we 
(you and I: to be 
clear) wasted whole 
afternoons playing video 
games. We did it with casual
zeal and elan, not a jot
of regrets, no guilt, 
no shame.
It was head-to-head 
fights, with big bets staked 

You kept letting me win, 
'cause you liked the take 

and I knew it was rigged, 
but I'd claim just the same 
with a cock-of-walk strut 
to my big brag frame
