For Whatever It's Worth

Don't get lonely in Vegas and decide
to walk five miles
to a downtown strip club
at one in the morning...
Don't fall in love with a dancer
who tells you about her two abortions
over non-alcoholic beers and never
cries once because she can't cry
anymore...
Don't threaten to kick the shit
out of the drunk pig who taunts her
for not being some airbrushed
impossibility from Playboy...
And don't--
under any circumstances--
walk back alone under the desert sky
to an immaculate hotel room
with an empty bed
and an unopened bottle of tequila
with your name on it.
