On the first day of the week

On the first day of the week,
with morning temperatures in the mid 40s
a high pressure area rule Vegas.

On the first day of the week,
tourist and locals alike
look forward to afternoons in the 60s
and give thanks for blue skies
on a lazy Sunday.

On the first day of the week,
no one wants to thinks
about Monday morning traffic
or the predictions of hump day clouds.

On the first day of the week,
locals relax over coffee and the morning paper
or attend spiritual services
at the church down the street
while tourist
still sleepy from last nights show
make their way to hotel-casino coffee shops
for breakfast and coffee.
