on the occasion of being stuck in las vegas on a work conference for four days

[sanpaku]

the human detritus
of at least four continents
flows around me

the profusion of
colorful tattoos
eighties music
young women in fedoras
margaritaville tee shirts

while I contemplate
the meaning
of life
revealed to me
in a piece of
chocolate croissant bread pudding
at the buffet
of the mirage hotel

Ooh, do share the meaning of life. ;)

it is a terrible shame archy
that no one has yet
admitted you to the
luxor
as you know archy
your friend mehitabel
was once incarnated in
the body of none other than
the queen of the nihilistic
and i do believe archy
if i am not terribly mistaken
that we could roam there
regal as a king and queen at least
just below the gaze of the sanctimonious
temple security guards
so why the mirage archy
wotthehell archy wotthehell

[sanpaku]

You are the greatest thing ever. :-D

[gansje]

I love you so much, and I think I need to edit to remove a few "archy"'s. Unmehitabel-like. wotthehell, sanpaku, wotthehell

[flw]

Love it!
