Jer Ber went where?

met my boy jeremey down the street for a drink
was bored and paid and the house fast asleep
closed it down and casino bound we
Player 1, Jason, Jerry and me
originally post tavern was a three man crew
never met jason before but the man handed us all $20 bills
we all knew what to do
lost jeremey at some point
ebbs and flows
up then down
repeat
the moment at the end
bitter defeat
lost $120
entertained for a stretch
guilty now
money less
from that urge to keep pushing
those buttons to press
that a.t.m.
that wallet i meant to not have
self control lacking
fer real tho
got it bad
thrill seeker
sought that
the rush
gambling
always seems
to get caught up in

chasing the reels
trying to catch
a quick break
a come-up intention
casinos on payday
always
end up
with less
my mistake
