The Poet of Las Vegas Boulevard

The Poet of Las Vegas Boulevard,
  steals emotion from the night

Holding a vigil in the darkness,
—waiting for the light

The Poet of Las Vegas Boulevard
  among the screams and homeless cries

Making rhyme of what reason has abandoned,
—marking time inside its shadowy lie

(Las Vegas Boulevard: January 24, 2016)
