52 Pick Up

What words can I think of

that haven't been said,

that haven't been written,

that haven't been read?


What can I invent?

An idea no one's thought

that hasn't been packaged,

not yet sold or bought.


I can't yell the loudest,

so what does it matter

to be one little voice,

amid white noise and chatter?


But if I shuffle some cards,

a 52 pack,

and I put them together

neatly placed in a stack,


there's a mathematical chance,

almost certain, for sure,

that the order I deal in's

never been dealt before.


The cards are the same.

The king, queen and jack.

All of the numbers.

All red or black.


But just by moving a couple,

or reshuffling them all

I create something new

through the way that they fall.
