Poker Face

We stare each other down;  
each waiting for the other to fold.  
   
You play your cards like a pro.  
Or at least I'll let you think so.  
   
You stay unreadable  
while I attempt to call your bluff.  
   
A flirtatious remark,  
and a heated glance to fluster you  
and throw you off kilter.  
   
No dice.  
You deflect.  
How strange that you did not  
succumb to my charms,  
unlike every man I've ever met.  
   
I raise.  
   
Your ways are more telling  
than the cards you think you are playing.  
   
I'm no fool.  
I know the hand you play close to your chest  
is shitty at best.  
   
Give up?
   
The fact that you measure  
every word  
and every action  
with careful precision,  
as to not give yourself away  
tells me everything I need to know.  
   
I'm all in.  
   
I've found your tell.
 
I call your bluff.  
   
Time to fold.
