It is so hot<\/p>\n
Candle flame held one inch below the feet<\/p>\n
Attic insulation stuffed down the throat<\/p>\n
Sulfuric acid bath on the te-te’s<\/p>\n
A microwave oven heating an overheated gray sponge in the think tank<\/p>\n
Hot<\/p>\n
I am a grown man and chose to live here in this insufferable shithole stank ass hell<\/p>\n
WHY<\/p>\n
I don’t gamble or whore.<\/p>\n
I don’t methanate or do real estate<\/p>\n
The school systems broken as a crack head on Sunday morning and the only green is tortured from the landscape<\/p>\n
WHY<\/p>\n
I’m like the gimp, tethered in my box, ball gag choking back the witness, sting of the whip akin with the<\/p>\n
Hot desert wind<\/p>\n
Transient people try to take you for a dime or worse to<\/p>\n
Blend you to their falsehoods yet<\/p>\n
Still I stay<\/p>\n
Addicted to her funk<\/p>\n
High on the limitlessness of her imagination<\/p>\n
Vegas is so Hot<\/p>\n
HOT and sultry like<\/p>\n
Wet caramel dripping on your cone like<\/p>\n
Sugar melting in your latte like<\/p>\n
Fire in your soul<\/p>\n
My roots too deep to pull out now<\/p>\n
Gotta hang for the pension and the kids gone way to school<\/p>\n
Gotta stick around and watch the deficits get harried by self important royal family members whose<\/p>\n
Only job is politics<\/p>\n
Gotta be there for the hope of a hope of a hope that the gamble on this dusty place will pay off and not strip me naked and bare like the rest of the Suckers<\/p>\n
Gotta play to win<\/p>\n
Odds are a funny thing<\/p>\n
They tend to favor the winners<\/p>\n
Most who wear suits and sit in air conditioned back rooms in billion dollar casinos or<\/p>\n
Maybe its those who roll around this place caring enough about it to risk our very lives for it<\/p>\n
Guess it remains to be seen<\/p>\n
This gamble I have taken<\/p>\n
I have love for my childhood here<\/p>\n
Out in the hotel pools and the awesome cool of Vegas but we seemed to be headed for celebrity only and bottle service so it may be time for my soul to find new roots in<\/p>\n
San Diego<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
