We played blackjack taco until the early mourning sun singed the obsidian sky into submission  singling the onslaught of dawn rising like ravishing wildfire over a horizon of jagged glacier crafted mountains peaked with diamonds coal and gold We flipped stacks and stacked flips Pushed coins and collected IOUs Spilled ink and broke pens Too many hours in the Night Jazzing about youth and the repercussions of aging in a time when aging was an agonizing sin we cured with creams and needles The table was deliberately a mess with scattered tea leaves half smoked sticky icky sticks full of inspired inspirations, drained drank empty wine bottles and other alcoholic deviances, and incoherent ramblings cauterizing the senses  uncompleted poems full of scribbled and scratched out words poke out from anyplace not covered  by crumpled  origami cash resting like a weird paper green zoo of swans frogs and paper airplanes. The suns rays manage to find that one area in between the window shades and curtains to shine brilliantly into our darkly kept stygian tomb Illuminating a night of lexicon ****** broken handed betting, and passion only poets and writers aspire to conquer We rubbed out our sleepless crusted eyes and gathered our ink stains and haunted dreams and left into the morning that we found in some skeletol low rent motel room on the side of this deserted desert highway...

A Low Rent Motel Room (on the deserted desert highway)
We played blackjack taco until the early mourning sun singed the obsidian sky into submission  singling the onslaught of dawn rising like ravishing wildfire over a horizon of jagged glacier crafted mountains peaked with diamonds coal and gold We flipped stacks and stacked flips Pushed coins and collected IOUs Spilled ink and broke pens Too many hours in the Night Jazzing about youth and the repercussions of aging in a time when aging was an agonizing sin we cured with creams and needles The table was deliberately a mess with scattered tea leaves half smoked sticky icky sticks full of inspired inspirations, drained drank empty wine bottles and other alcoholic deviances, and incoherent ramblings cauterizing the senses  uncompleted poems full of scribbled and scratched out words poke out from anyplace not covered  by crumpled  origami cash resting like a weird paper green zoo of swans frogs and paper airplanes. The suns rays manage to find that one area in between the window shades and curtains to shine brilliantly into our darkly kept stygian tomb Illuminating a night of lexicon ****** broken handed betting, and passion only poets and writers aspire to conquer We rubbed out our sleepless crusted eyes and gathered our ink stains and haunted dreams and left into the morning that we found in some skeletol low rent motel room on the side of this deserted desert highway...
