My experience of motels cheap or otherwise is limited to watching Psycho. Here’s a cheap hotel poem instead. #PoemsAbout #CheapMotels for @thebrokenspine.co.uk

When life is built on artificial rules, it can begin to feel like a motel rather than a home. This poem is about listening for what remains beneath that noise.

I don't go to cheap motels anymore.
I don't miss the stickiness of the floor.
The stains on the carpet.
The hairs on the bed.
"I should be worth more."
That's all her note said.
I've learned what lonely rooms are for.
I don't go to cheap motels anymore.

Quo Vadis?
To love that which equalizes all souls.
Or to a town where yours
Is the only scent.
A place in which love resides,
Or a room where
It’s just for rent.
So remember my friend
It’s not how you walk the line,
But how you take the bend.
