Atlantis City, New Haven

Scraping these stalemate shadows from such, buskins nails

Tracing real time read throughs signifying tragedies

Shredded in the leafed contours bin....

High rise windows overlooking the city; hedged portrayed views!?

Collosity framed upon the walls possessive panels this, epidemic of disregard

Obstinate portals; entering this burgandy carpeted elevators, going down

Stopping at the lounge for a midday cocktails, inebriating the enigmas

Jukebox tunes playing these, immersed illusions both, shaken and stirred

Martinis, with an extra phantoms olive to quiescent this taste

Lingering now upon my pulsed illuminated tongue....

Paying off the tab afore glancing into the mirrors reflections; crowds passing by ~

Master cards manifestos held tight and, placed into freighted pockets?!

Passing through the galvanized foyers exegesisly brushed frescos offerings and

Gazing toward the artic domed ceilings skylight; penetrating rays of warmth as

Straightening my tie before stepping outside to greet their, euphoric smiles ~

While as leaving now, this big cities architecturally designed, scalar hotel!?

Scraping, these stalemate shadows from such buskins nails....
