FaceValue

by Trisha De Gracia

You sit with both your faces cupped
inside of both your palms
and wait:

     Ace-
    Queen-
and lonely Jack.


You deal in cards,
while we,
the perfect royalty,
can deal in broken hearts and
eimmpstoy sspoarcreys
in between.

I don't know what it is about this. But I'm not a big fan of it. I like the message but the formatting sort of seems overdone. The "empty spaces" bit is clever but is confusing because if you don't read it as bold only it makes no sense. I dunno, your vision not mine. I love you.
