Culture, storytelling: and a cardgame
They say culture eats strategy for breakfast. What happens when culture gets shuffled, like a game of cards? Who wins? And who loses?
If culture were a card game,
You could call it Factorial 52
Imagine the unique combinations
You could create, with one, or a few.
You’d spot the diamond
Call a spade, just that,
Go clubbing with the club,
A heart-to-heart chat.
But then you know, the real rules
The kings, the queens, the aces,
Cardpower has designations.
You need match their paces.
If you are just a mere number,
Don’t you dare ask for a name.
Before you got started,
You already lost the game.
Lay it on the table,
And if you got that Joker,
Choke on your laughter,
Smile your best poker.
Let the cards stack up,
In this cardboard culture house.
And if a stray wind blows,
Close the window. Or crush the house.
