let's take a nap first

i get the upgrade

room.

this one has two double

beds

and a view

of the empire state building.

room service

and 

extra towels.

i love extra towels.

it's on

the 12th floor, but

from

the window,

when i pry it open

an inch or two,

i can still

smell

the hot pretzels

and hear

the chatter of the crowd,

the blare

of taxi horns down

on the street.

i empty my wallet on the bed.

i only brought

two thousand

dollars in cash for

three nights.

it's going to be close,

i might have to break out

the Amex.
