Dressing up and dressing off
.
In Vegas we stayed at a castle
a screaming floor full of ‘winners’
they’d made it here
landed in a bleak desert
from the sky or over dry land.
.
We’ve projected beyond
the desert people camps
the lonely fifty mile road
through a reservation
to a glass U walk suspended
over a natural wonder.
.
But most people stay
in Vegas, if they visit Nevada
the ‘on’ switch turns at 8pm.
Quiet malls become clubs with
long lines and the noise of the street
belongs inside by night.
.
Peace may only rest in the cliff cracks
of Zion two hundred miles east.
