A Girl I Know by Ann Mosher

A Girl I Know

by Ann Mosher

She is motel monotony

With white towels

And free soap

And elevator Muzak

all the way up

forgotten trinkets left

by interesting guests

Usually stolen or

quickly mailed back

Never a Picasso

in her picture frames

only flowers upon flowers

maybe a Monet

Check in if you will

but her prices are draining

and she'll send you brochures

long after you've left
