This is either a poem or a piece of flash fiction. I'm not quite sure what I want to call it yet.

-one bed or two

-one bed

-smoking or non-smoking

-whichever one is cheaper

-oh look, there’s candy

-they’re both the same price. Do you smoke

-no I don’t. I’ll take a non-smoking

-it’s going to be sixty-five after tax

-John, look at these pretty rocks. Are these sea salts

 

The tips of his nails are black

They’re too long for construction work

 

No car out front

-that’s fine                    -that’s too bad, it’s really pretty

-sixty-five please

 

He hands me three twenties and a five

They feel wet, but I know they’re dry

 

Everyone’s money smells the same

But these bills smell a lot more like money

He never answered my question

I hand him the key

 

-it’s going to be the last room on the outside facing 711

 

-have a good night

 

-can I take a candy

-yes you may

 

-have a good night

I have to admit even though it might not have been formatted like a poem I still liked it.

More of a piece of flash fiction than a poem haha. It has no real rhythm.

I enjoyed it though, not sure why there aren't any reviews yet.

Thanks for sharing :)
