SlotS

There’s a LOT

going on

between the first & last

Sparkling  S

at Hiawatha SlotS

 

Dozens of earnest faces

lit up in neon glare

             everywhere

high decibel chorus

of scores of blinking

             winking

             clinking

             slot machines

Gamblers perched on stools

— young, old, infirm & fair

hoping to win

LOTS of money

  

Only one machine

pays off consistently

— the ATM

ill-serving desperate losers

in over their heads

and sinking fast
