Destination, Salt Lake City

Arrived, in
             Palm Springs
                Mid July,
            tourist season
             in this region.
   Another gold mine.
We all gather our product,
           business 
          to conduct.
           Seperate,
       Alone this time

            DAMN,

      did you see her?
          she's fine!
       That's a crime

         she's mine.....

I approach 
             my sales swag
               in full swing.
                 confident, 
                     cool,
                 collected.
                just made
                fifty bucks, 
        three more customers. 
               I approach,

No luck!!

Marriot, 
         Palm Springs.
    Perfume sales bizzar,
  thousands of young men,
    beautiful women from 
       around the globe
       probe, sell, stroll
       paradise streets.
all with demands to meet.

The company threw a party
                     in Marriot.
          Half the building owned 
        by staggering, half naked
                   young adults.
                   three women
                          to
                     one man
                        ratio
                understand, the
many chances.
I had..

Partied all night
             only to drive 
             the next day.
           headed back to
Las Vegas 
       for an overnight stay.
     Work but mostly played
          with all the money 
that I made.

Bummer,
     I lost two hundred dollars
              What a pity
     gather up now everybody,
                  for our final Destination,
Salt Lake City.

Stay tuned for the conclusion......
Destination, Bed.......

Jared, Better luck in Salt Lake. I live 40 miles from SLC and go there as seldom as possible. Be advised, it's not a party town. Enjoyed your poem. Nice work. Always, Will
