houses of Sin
     drawing you (us) in
          strung with neon lights
               & forbidden delights
     meant to entice, but never quite
               satisfy the appetites
          of those who seek
     an escape from this reality;
          another milky-way hallucination… (1)
     will you accept the invitation
to take a virtual vacation
     from every obligation
without explanation?
