What Went Ye into the Casino to See?

 

Shootings at a Las Vegas Casino

 

-news item

 

What went ye into the casino to see -

A numbered mandala spinning truth on red

A James Bond manque in a cartoon tee

A tatted Sylvia Trench wheezing a joint?

 

What went ye into the casino to see -

A clapped-out Toyota cruising the drag

Mysterious encounters behind the Denny’s

Getting lucky in the Lucky 7 Motel?

 

Does a man learn at last what life really means

Choking in blood among the slot machines?

 

 

Cf. St. Matthew 11:7
