Lyrics
Expressions can be written on a face
We can be powerless to prevent them showing
The art of course is in the knowing
When to raise the stakes and when to fold
Thoughts can be jumbled in your mind
Words can escape before being erased
The skill lies in understanding silence
Playing with care as the game unfolds
Take in your surroundings, everything counts
Who’s looking nervous, who’s ready to pounce
Sunglasses worn to hide your eyes
Fidgeting fingers betraying emotions
(c) words and music G Todd 2025

This is some great poetry put to music. The first line pulled me in.
