Alea Iacta Est

I only sometimes grasp that the die has been cast
And this is just as well.
In a game with only one player
You always are and yet cannot be last.

Because I came in already staked at risk of ruin
I’ve learned some rules
And studied the competition
To stop them from being my undoing.

I looked to grand-masters to weigh in -
Those that have some style.
The best of them say
The meaning of the game is in  playing.
