Analysis of The Poet Of Las Vegas Boulevard
The Poet of Las Vegas Boulevard,
steals emotion from the night
Holding a vigil in the darkness,
waiting for the light
The Poet of Las Vegas Boulevard,
among the screams and homeless cries
Making rhyme of what reason has abandoned,
marking time inside the shadow of lies
(Las Vegas Boulevard: January 24, 2016)
