why he was on the precipice
to begin with
was anyone’s best guess
but given the current state of affairs
chances are nobody
would likely blame him
—but the outcome
now that’s another story
but most of vegas kept finding itself
playing the pass line
believing lady luck
was about to be resurrected

there is work to be done
will you take the time
to do it right
that novel you’re reading
don’t let it get away
there is something special for you
at the very end
I hear the rose-building sessions
have done you wonders
soon you’ll be surprised
what you can do with legos
the hummingbird glass blower
recently arrived from arizona
asking if you’re still around
of course I told him
you’ve worked your way
back into the game
by way of reinvention
