Ten of Clubs

"Where are the keys -- to me?" Pensive metro imagines hidden potential expressed by mystical ignition. Okay, it's a slightly obnoxious, upscale metaphor, but what is the metro if not slightly obnoxious and upscale? And while ambitions of glamor and fabulousness may grate on the more puritanical among ordinary mortals, at least self-improvement and personal motivation -- of whatever self-obsessed, narcissistic variation -- are considered virtues in the metro universe.

Meaning: Self-knowledge, striving for self-mastery.

Reversed: A misguided attempt at education.
