Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

At the Casino

     lizardly he slithers in
         nursing his sloe glass of gin

     lightning flashing from his eyes
         functioning to disguise

     who and what he really is
         rolling pairs of snake-eyes

     in the air a venomous hissing
         is there something I am missing
