after the Park Hyatt

once you stay
at the Park Hyatt, 
with a view of Central Park,
lush
in all its amenities,
it's all downhill
from there.
the Comfort Inn
is shabby,
Motel Six
is hell on earth
with their thread bare blankets,
and thin
curtains,
pictures of cowpokes
on the wall,
not to mention
their so called
continental breakfast
of stale
donuts
and mister coffee
in the lobby.
cream in warm
little
plastic buckets.
you shouldn't be able
to hear the people in
the room
beside you,
chewing their food,
and tossing chicken bones 
into the waste basket,
missing as they hit the wall.
