Ménage à Trois (Alone in a Hotel Room at 1 AM)
Ménage à Trois (Alone in a Hotel Room at 1 AM)

Thin walls reveal, too well,
the aspirations of my neighbors.
Quiet moans mingle
with the drone of TV,
a strange mélange of real
and imagined eroticism.
As their headboard
bangs a jumbled tattoo,
I join them, gasping
like a hooked carp at our shared
moment of completion.
I wonder if they
search for a tissue,
too.
