Crank (Crank 1)

sports betting,

light night carousing.

Legal, semi-immoral—

adult revues (aka “titty shows”)

gay clubs, strip clubs, swap clubs,

beyond-the-city-limits prostitutions.

Such activities,

24-7,

practically invited

Remote desert

trailers and

sad, little

in flames regularly,

victims

of ether-fed fire.

Oh, yes, there was

crank in Reno,

waiting

for me, calling

out to Bree.

Lucky me! Mom’s kitchen
