The last lines of the poem:

You’re addicted to
knowing the cards love
no one
but the last hands
to hold them.
Is there anything
sexier than
putting it all-in and
having the moment
Morse code thru your veins?
Anything sexier
than the way
desperation’s dress
hugs her hips?
That’s why you return,
why you tease your chair
to the table’s edge
and post a blind bet,
why you peel the corner
of your hole cards
like they're prosperity’s
last pair
of good panties.

Jeffrey McDaniel hung out with Dias-Porter, also known as DJ Renegade, at one of the casinos where he now works and lives:

"Technically I’m homeless, but I stay in four-star hotels every night," he laughs.
