Hotel Room


every night the world from a different point of view
the plumbing diverse
smiles identical

Respect is purchased
in a community of strangers
How Are You Today Sir?

we take meagre possessions
from suit cases
without suits

spread them around
out of territoriality
like dogs pissing boundaries

for just one night
the space is Ours

Home
a tiny piece planted
in london/rome/paris

see the photo? this was Our room
(thousands have slept there since)
i forget the number…

mini soap
   mini shampoo
     mini bar.
