asylum alley

asylum alley

torn lottery tickets
stale beer ash tray
duct taped bar stool
yellow mirrors
choke smell piss
unplugged music
orange TV glow
hiders from hell
train track vista
sparks in dirty rain
gummed up sidewalks
condom wrappers in alleys
toxic muddy needles
rusty heaps
brick wall smokers
spitters
ranters
ravers
lookers
hookers
toothless laughers

This sounds like the aftermath of a few parties I've been too. I love the images you show. They really tell the story for you. 10 from me.

raw look at life in the big city......kinda made me like the fact that vegas is for tourist so the city will never let it get to that point.

Sounds like 6th street in Austin after a rowdy Sat night! Forgot rapers. Very decriptive imagery and mastery of words. Painted a picture, not pretty, But brutally honest and true. Way to go, Write on.....

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
