I daily play at solitaire and win,
although sometimes it takes me several tries,
wherein I vary how I flip a card,
so there’s occasion when I re-begin,
or skip an easy move. It’s a surprise
to triumph when the dealt array is hard.

Go figure, for I don’t – my focus strays,
and makes me understand the greatest strength
of a computer, far beyond its ways
of doing math and recall. For at length,
I get that it’s a tool for memory
and calculation, but I do not find
it harnessed as attention aid – I see
distraction as a trait of humankind.
