50 quid a night
Bleak walls
***** curtains
'Thieves abound' signs.
What do you expect?
Rumbling
deep and dark
Boeings vying
with Airbus
for air space
Around me
surrounded
held hostage by
a mix of humanity
that defies belief
Tats & shaven eyebrows
Over there a Rolex
Business people
thin on the ground
Holidaymakers
construction gangs
football teams
flight crew...
No pilots, mind
Families
And then there are
the lonesomes
like me
and people shouting
into their digital fruits
Only 50 quid a night
What do you expect?
What you've got...
A melting *** of humanity
In all its gore & gloriousness
