Dice
a new board game
uncertain rules
unspoken family rivalries
and turkey
one side of the board
gains weight--
is it armies?
or gravy and mash?
next the victor
prancing about
like it wasn't luck
and certainly wasn't the wine
like it wasn't the dice
like it wasn't the wine
when cousins leave without speaking
it's never the turkey
the gravy
or mash
it's always the dice
it's always the wine
