NEW MOON

The new moon marks the start of another lunar month, and just happened to coincide with my 'fourth Wednesday,' much longed for, payday! My all-nighter last night, consisted of using a $100-bill, to play a three-spot on 25 keno machines in one long line; 'grinding' for three and a half hours, and turning $100 into $231; I then bought a package of American Spirit cigarettes, and went for a poached eggs & grits breakfast at Tuscany Suites & Casino[Marylin's opened at 7 AM]; at 5/minutes past midnight, I had withdrawn from an ATM, $400 walking around-money. Earlier, at 11 PM on Tuesday, with another hour until my magical transformation, I had gone through Paris[Hotel & Casino], over to Johnny Rocket's and played several tunes on the freebie juke box. Relaxing, while listening intently to the R&B, I'd fallen into a deep, comatose sleep. Then I became abruptly conscious, began to panic & hurried-off, back over to PH; as I entered Paris proper, my hand instinctively seized a go-cup[looked like icy coca cola] setting on an unattended counter; one sip screamed bourbon, but I kept on sipping. At the first gaming device in the PH Casino, I inserted my 2/cent cashout ticket[a convenient timekeeper] & quickly punched the now lit 'CASH OUT' button; printed on the new ticket, in military time, was 0:00:58[58/seconds past midnight; it was now Wednesday!].

OFF  TO  THE  RACES

I'm heading down to the boulevard, just to have a look around.
