Chip in a high stakes poker game Aug. 1, 2025

  

It never lasts, even when she things it must, having put all her ducks in order, all the right people (mostly men) telling her everything she needs to hear, to be assured she is on the right road when nothing could be further from the truth.

She gives herself up to them, thinking she keeps control of her life, when in fact they hold all the cards in a high stake poker game in which is merely a chip – she believing everything they tell her while thinking these ideas came out of her own head, not just what they talk her into doing, a provocative dance as if she lives her life on strings, each move preordained until that day, not so far in the future when they cut her loose and find a new girl to do and say all the thing she used to do and say.
