Poem Anyone? "Gambling In State Line, Nevada"

"Gambling in State Line Nevada"

The great cracked shadow of the Sierra Nevada
Hoods over the last road.

I came down here from the side of
A cold cairn where a girl named Rachel
Just made it inside California
And died of bad luck.

Here, across the keno board,
An old woman
Has been beating a strange machine
In its face all day.

Dusk limps past in the street.
I step outside.
It's gone.
I finger a worthless agate
In my pocket.

-James Wright

You see, this is what happens.

I try to make a non-erotic post and share a wonderful peom with you idiots out there and this thing only got 2 reads.

Should I stick with SEX, DRUGS, ROCK & ROLL?

Violence, anyone?
