In This Casino
In this Casino
you give
a little more
each time.
Attention.
Emotion.
Hours.
Hope.
And still
you are asked
for more—
to feed the bottomless hunger,
the insatiable thirst.
In this Casino
more is more,
but never enough,
until you are empty.
And then some.

“more is more,
but never enough,
until you are empty.” Yes. Good piece.
The bottomless pit, the never satisfying life.
