Impressions of September LV
Shiny skyscraping hotels line the I-15
Casino themed car-filled boulevards
Tanned homeless slumping along sidewalks
110 degree heat thickens the cloudless air
Mattresses left curbside in front of too many houses
Cultural businesses just like any other city
Palm trees and pools seen outside tower room windows
Post-pandemic non-emptiness in smoky gambling halls
Man-made entertainment volcano blasts night fire
Balding retired men escort their women to $100 a ticket shows
Neighborhoods of stuccoed homes in named clusters
The whole desert valley ringed by highways
