White smoke like clouds pours outof the factory in spitting distanceof the casino like no one free could knowjust what was being made there.The crowds though didn’t careand stood in line to empty out the timeleft in their pockets.The track was full of giant hatsand olives floating lopsidedagainst the beer contained in clearwhite plastic cups.Another […]
