Check-Out Time With the Receptionist

I stare at the walls in this empty hotel room

I don’t feel like listening

The telephone tries to talk with me

I called room service asking them to clean my memory

I open the veil to the city’s eyes

I sit here exposed--suffering wisdom’s arms

Can you honestly say that you don’t lie on Sundays

When your back is on the bed next to me?

I noticed that time hangs on the wall

It’s next to my bed waking me into everyday

The clothes in the closet are too nice

To belong to someone who plays with business

You stand at the door

If there is no lock, how come I am looking for a key?
