End Game


Game over actually. I never imagined I'd be one to admit defeat. 25 years of endless optimism and fast moves, always avoiding the inevitable dead end. Getting fired and having only one interview. Bored beyond belief along with my habitual benders had me on the ropes, on the edge. Stuck between where I landed and where I came from, marriage and my new girlfriend yet to want to be a finance. Girlfriend human as I am but not as conscious of it. So I'm back on my feet and trying to act out an earnest effort. Yet if I could have foreseen all this, I would have saved all my money and had a different scheme in mind. My ex-wife obviously set me up, and I'm left without a new play. How wonderful, pun intended. Looks like Game Over indeed, and I lose. But I never knew there was such a game being played in the first place.
