Best Shooting Craps Poems
The Perils of the GhettoSoft silhouettes sashay by my window
Grievingly gazing out unto a world of which you may never know
Linen curtains briefly ruffled in the breeze
Old drunken Julius finds shade under the huge oak trees
The echoes of poverty ring outside my building
The pleas of panhandlers, the chattering of...

Around TownWritten August 10, 2013
My darling
Where have you been tonight
She said I've been around town
I've been around town all night
Shooting craps with the girls
Where the women wear pearls that glisten so bright in your eyes
At that casino with the fountain as high as the sky

Vegas NightsVegas nights and neon lights
A desert playground of sin
Enraptured then you're captured
