SIN CITY (BEEN HAD)

Bugsy's dream                                Operatic fountains synchronized streams

                                                     Dead music legends interpreted by cirque

                                                     glamour the eyes neon and distractions

gangster's paradise

imploded and expanded                  stars in the sky out shined by fluorescent sands

desert roads in summer throes

craps and snake eyes 

piercingly like void venom              artifice and slots easy as swallowing shots

                                                     life: a machination of mannequins

electric pulse of a new heart

as mob money mobs                        sincerely catering service champagne rooms

since greed barely sleeps

and lust is always hungry...             it be only history now viral and industry

sin city  

once only an idea, a peanut 

from - y'know - "like whoa! what the frank??..."

but gotta hand it

the business took                            legit crooks, stashing books, making whoop...

dream getaways by blue moons      

in blue pools

privacy like freedom is a pension crap toss 

EXPENSIVE...

where those blind to consequence

can witness 

(convertible caddy)

the highway to losing grace              seeing is half believing when gambling 

                                                       feels like a game, and the surroundings 

                                                       rarely change. 

Where the indifferent ego

Idled by self 

becomes a parasitic pretender

talented liar 

actor to some...                              walking among 

                                                      the vapid vehemency of true victors & kings

brilliantly glamourized

in billboard lights

numbingly blinking                          hypno hyper active analogues 

                                                      of high def diminishment

of common folly logic

displacia of senses

fairy-dust of forgetting                   (in a Benjamin straw)

duty discarded

familial responsibility a hollow weight

a close second to desperations

the hustle was once a dance

the true crime and you

metro and the fool

willing food                                   flash floods and tour buses full

just to be had

gangster pimped out a city

called it "the table" 

dubbed by sin 

stole some cash

catering to our vices / service entrance in the back

"What happened in vegas...?"

some call it  being had ...
