Big Blind.

Check.
And then,
In the dark and the silence, there are monsters in the crevice of your mind.
(The first rule of monster is: do not talk of the monster in your mind.)
Shhhhh.
I got monsters.
(Monsters got me bad.)

The dark and the silence and the monsters throw their chips into the ring.
I smile,
And I raise them, the rest of my life.
All in.
