Answer
On
a
warm
summer's
evening
on
a
train
bound
for
nowhere
I
met
up
with
a
gambler
we
were
both
too
tired
to
sleep
So
we
took
turns
staring
out
the
window
at
the
darkness
Till
boredom
overtook
us
and
he
began
to
speak
He
said
son
Answer
I've
made
a
life
out
of
reading
people's
faces
And
knowing
what
their
cards
were
by
the
way
they
held
their
eyes
So
if
you
don't
mind
me
saying
I
can
see
you're
out
of
aces
For
a
taste
of
your
whiskey
I'll
give
you
some
advice
Answer
So
I
handed
him
my
bottle
and
he
drank
down
my
last
swallow
Then
he
bummed
a
cigarette
and
asked
me
for
a
light
And
the
night
got
deathly
quiet
and
his
face
lost
all
expression
Said
if
you're
gonna
play
the
game
boy

gotta
learn

your
money
when

sitting
at
the
table
There'll
be
time
enough
for
countin
when
the
Answer
dealing's
done
Every
gambler
knows
that
the
secret
to
surviving
Is
knowing
what
to
throw
away
and
knowing
what
to
keep
Cause
every
hand's
a
winner
and
every
hand's
a
loser
And
the
best
that
you
can
hope
for
is
to
die
in
your
sleep
And
Answer
when
he
finished
speaking
he
turned
back
toward
the
window
Crushed
out
his
cigarette
and
faded
off
to
sleep
And
somewhere
in
the
darkness
the
gambler
he
broke
even
But
in
his
final
words
I
found
an
ace
that
I
could
keep
You

dealing's
done
