we switched hotels due to errant alarms disturbing rest from faulty wiring only for the faulty wiring in my brain to be highlighted by the sudden change in scenery

the ramshackle everyday people replaced by a higher class of lowlife as i sit angrily tapping the screen of another pointless piece of prose written in despair

underdressed in a foolish over blown sense of underperforming overt need to impress while maintaining a civil air of uncivil three piece suited savants

disdain drips from my poison pen as the ink pools in bags under my barely open eyes to paint a picture of distress in vaulted ceilings refracting the false laughter
