Part 2 of poetry issues #24 is not a poem, at least not originally and not exclusively. In fact, it is a rather small excerpt of "Alice in the Casino," which is a hybrid between a short story and an essay and is probably worth your time. True to the sans-système tradition, I have decided that poetry issues is not just about poetry in the narrowest sense but about all things poetic. The accompanying visual artwork is called "Alice" and is complementary to the story. Enjoy!
