ners lo
o
king for a
good time blo
wing bucks eve
r
step of the way

god this casino
kills round the clock
or rat
her kills the clock itself

no on
e is her
e to see me
see what speed
has un
done in the faces
of the grave
yard shift once
lovely waitresses
or whatever 
their bosses call them

i can bare
ly take the sun
ken mouths
of the casino life
rs
who
se clean cow
boy shirts for sure
reek of sixty plus
odd years of smoke
d cheap cigs

what if
i think bet
ween sips of whisky 
one could see all
the teeth of these
rottin
g gamblers in a pile?

no nevadans?

when a buxom doll
ed up woman
passes so 
man 
y eyes foll
ow her move

transformations the hotel
mirrors must have witnessed

the young womens' feet
hide in uggs
and black spikes

programmed to drive
granny addicts and co
ughing old cowboys
batty with greed

five one filipino
women with brushed black
smoke-in
fused hair patrol
glossy lanes
flanked by the tack

dom of god
awful decisions
its twin
kling with
empty comped cock
tail glasses this
nausea
tingly rich racket

the slimme
st fuck if they nev
er laid a sleepless eye
on again

what wit
h the millions on
like a run
nin bathtub

there the patron's fin
al breath collides
with the plastic show
er 
curtain.
