Poems written while traveling.

On the Pass line 


As consciousness persuades the practical to
go to bed, the mindful find themselves shit-faced

and happy at the Clown Bar.  Eager, hopeful, in service
to lust and carelessness, throwing good money

after bad dice--smoking, drinking to excess,
working toward a cheerful mindlessness; patron

of the slot machine and the hard-way crap dice—
pilgrim of the improbable, the intrinsic, and the
      very, very elusive.
