In the Blue Casino
by Christian Wessels
Where the windowless rooms
…Manufacture stimulations
A body associates with pleasure
…Where more modifies neither object
Nor concept but a life with
…Other measurements like three dreams
And blue making three blue dreams
…Where the temperature decreases
A half-mark at every event
…Described as a win or loss
Where an old man at the poker table
…Vows to posthumously donate
His life insurance to clean industries
…Where the wheel moves too fast
Too fast too fast over
…The predestined number where faith
Becomes a functional impossibility
…Because here you’re no kind of person
Anymore though you wonder
…Was that true before where you enter
And exit the washroom there are rules
…First you need to leave the blue casino
To believe it was real second
…You can never be clean again
Third you must wash your hands
…With soap and water
