    Everybody looks happy
    I am bored for everyone
    The slots entice
    But then dehumanize
    table games look like parties from afar
    But take a closer seat amongst weary eyed strangers
    What is here
    I don't see it
    I see a lot of machines
    Laughing people
    Smoking folks
    Drinking crowds
    Pretty dresses
    Long legs
    Guards guarding guards
    Walkers with  no destinations
    What is going on around me
    I wish all of a sudden
    The lights would go out
    In the entire casino
    All these people total darkness
    no  music or ching ching
    Now that would be fun

    It would not only be fun but it would close down a lot of credit card circuits that feed in to the recession we face....

    Great Write....very humorous, can you imagine a blackout at Borgata or Tropicana or Bally's....pandemonium for sure, but I would bet your money and mine that they have back-up generators just in case.....Thanks!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
