First off, I think the poem reads wonderfully. It sounds great, and the effects of the alliteration and rhyme in it add to the smooth quality of the poem.
The poem seems to be glamorizing the lives of the seven delinquent pool players of the Golden Shovel. I got the impression that the pool players were the ones speaking in the poem, telling the readers about their lives and ultimately, their mistakes. There seemed to be no hint of remorse or regret in the poem though. Reading this, I recalled the quote, "Live fast, die young, leave a good-looking corpse." And live fast they did.
