Posing for the Publicity Shot


Posing for the Publicity Shot

Sitting demure and delicate
Pounding the Timber Wolves machine
Tapping your pink toenails
Freshly painted in the spa
To the tinny beat of the
Generic song playing softly
Through the casino

Holding your posture
Straight and perfect
As if posing for the
Publicity picture they
Will certainly take
When you hit it big
In Las Vegas

You did your hair
Just for that chance
You did your makeup
For it too
Today is the day
You know it
You feel it
So you pound those
Lucky Timber Wolves
Pouring good money
Down the hole
After the bad
Hoping to strike
Gorgeous poses
For all the cameras

I was at a casino when I saw this woman. I didn't know her, but she held herself like she expected paparazzi to just pop out from behind the nearest machine and start photographing her. It was kind of funny.
