At Motel Depression, you're just not interested.
You recall what being interested is like,
but it's a proper tall hotel in another part of town.
Best not to strain against the circumstances.
See the salt-and-pepper screen of the broken
TV. Guess the age of the smelly drapes.
Toss your clothes on the embattled chair.
The painting is a kind of punishment.
No moaning, no wailing, please:
the walls are thin. Keep the sheets
between you and the blankets. There's
a good chance you'll check out tomorrow.
