Empty City (A Poem About Las Vegas)

Hallowed, empty faces
they stare,
sucking the life from you
with the first word
you let escape
just to appease them
They'll take you in
and you'll feel like you've
been
thrown out
Gotta catch the fever of
"Don't let nobody in."
Burnt out, shot up, laid down
It's cold, in a city so warm
