Getting off the train
they walked down
to the cheap hotel.
She gave her name
as was his
a Mr & Mrs Coles.
The woman behind the desk
gave a look of suspicion
but handed them the key.
They climbed the stairs
to the room. A pokey hole
with an adjoining bathroom.
They unpacked their bags
then sat on the double bed.
She bounced up and down.
Should be o.k. she said.
He nodded and smiled.
She got up and drew
the curtains closed
shutting out
afternoon light.
Don't want those people
in the office opposite
gazing in she said.
He began to undress
and so did she.
It seemed odd doing it
in the afternoon.
He could hear the traffic
passing by.
Someone called
from the street.
A dog barked.
They climbed into bed
and snuggled down.
She was a decade or so
older than he and more
knowledgeable
of the ****** game.
He wondered why
the dame downstairs
gazed at him
and the scribbled name.
