Joker



You haven’t left,

I know for sure.

I saw you in Sainsbury’s

Only the other day,

Your cart piled high

With goodies.



The dead don’t change;

They carry on,

Playing the same old game.



Shuffling the pack,

I see you again,

Ignoring the rules.



Well past your sell-by date:

Your smile as bright

As a new-minted coin,

Deceiving no one.
