i know where i'm sleeping tonight

"I know where
I'M sleeping tonight!"

he passes by
pushing a
hotel
luggage cart.

stupidly
I ask him
to repeat it.

"I SAID,
I know where
I'M sleeping tonight!"

and at that
I look back
down
to my book
because

i work here

and that sort of
dull comment
should not be
rewarded
with
eye contact.

I know,
too.
Moron.

I gave you
the keys
to the
room.

our interaction
is over, so
move
along.
