Desert Fountain

If you want to find yourself
Vegas may not be your place
You might find your inner Elvis
Or worse, a pack of rats

Walk sober at midnight 
from Mandalay Bay
To the Palazzo 
And then back south

Look hard at the faces
Listen to the yelps
Sit for a time 
As the parade passes

Ask yourself what that is
Is it a form of joy?
Was love waiting on you
When you got back?

Desert fountain
I fear for your future
But it's the clanging machines
That must not last
