hundreds of dollars
two southern cops
and a border patrol search
later

we found ourselves
setting up
for the big shakedown

armed with wide eyes
and dulled wits
we were ready
for anything

even the ever encroaching desert
arid & alluring
as some sun-baked siren
sweetly singing of half-remembered promises
and unfulfilled madness

the true american dream

betting it all on red
white
and black
while muttering incantations about
father's latest footwear
and being thrown out of only
the finest places

all hands on deck
for the most triumphant
distress signal
ever
heard
Full Title: swing low, sweet Roswell (Vegas interlude)
