Poem following Raymond Carver's Theme in Photograph of My Father in His Twenty-Second Year

July, It's evening in this wonderful place.
I stare at the water shooting into the air
as well as the lights and their reflection off the water.

Behind the water and the lights
You can see the enormous building towering into the sky.
You can tell that the lights water, lights, and the building are meant to draw ones attention.

This is the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas.
It is a magnificent site, and perhaps the nicest Casino in the town.
Man do I want to go back to that place.
When will I see Las Vegas again?
