i play with a token chip, stamped with a one in the ring of a circus.
life is a perpetual wondering of will i or will i not.
somehow, i remember when i lost my first tooth -- i ran my tongue over the aperture, absentmindedly each day as i waited for new bone to break my gums. i guess people grow in bizarre ways.
i wonder if that's how i learned of searching, and wanting, and the taste of blood. my hand is bleeding through the bandage. i'm not even sure how i messed it up this time.
leon’s distillery becomes a casino once a month -- a local gang comes around and collects government paychecks, and i guess there's not much to forfeit in gambling a tighter noose for a breath. i think mom would kill me if she knew i came here. i think she would kill me if she knew how many times i’ve bet my life.
a row of slot machines blink in the corner of the room, each one emblazoned with "exotic cats jackpot," faces of mutts spinning as people hope for three lynxes to pay off their debt. i light a cigarette, watch them, smoke wandering through the air, around silver vats and pipes until it finds hugo across the room.
