Vegas 12.26.2022

Vegas. 5am. i take the elevator 20 floors down to the lobby. slot machines. whoever on the last dime. an old man smoking a cigar. a young woman with a pained expression. a dog under her arm. pulling for 7 bars on 5 lines. the dog licks foam off the lid of her coffee.

sky casino

 walking away

broken bottles in the lot

hearts a little heavy

i know this place wasn’t nothing 

without you

the dreams we conjured

when we doubled down

and won

oh to get away from the world

dying together 

when the pill dropped 

on red

i would happily die 

a thousand times

by your side

small pleasures

glass bottle coca-cola
free wifi in laundromats and libraries
youtube tutorials 4 DIY operations
cheap cigs from chinatown
free exchange of labor (aka home depot parking lots)

crossing the state line to gamble on sports
puff powder clouds on blue sky days

cold brew coffee

aces

when the magic dried up the

onlookers moved 

on 


the suits 

jacks and queens in diamonds

the spades and lonely hearts

the kings


leaving them

only true 

aces
