PART ONE FREE HERE; PART TWO HERE; PART THREE HERE

motoring through the Mojave Desert

motoring towards the neon Strip

heading for the orange-tinted sunset

the light comes down

you dream of the lilac mountains

of heat and the purple hued horizon

of the kid you will become again

for:

Las Vegas

incoming

this darkening Saturday late July American summer night

FINAL PART

Vegas is Vegas, baby

there is a silly drunk in the PGA TOUR bar

at Harry Reid International Airport

laugh like a giraffe panicking 

who

projects a grating baritone across the joint;

soon, hopefully, his flight goes…

as i drink a vat of red wine and picture rain and thunder 

the Virgin Airlines 10 hour sore-eye into Heathrow

the whole plane asleep and hearing violins and trumpets

feeling 

beauty

creating beauty

dream of the stuff

it’s the only way 

and finally lying in your room in the gloaming and

wanting a cup of herbal tea listening to the night fall

down the side of your windows

traffic surfing along the millennia aged highways

you ponder:

what was all of that ???

what i see now is the runway at the bottom of the Strip at

Harry Reid
