MIDNIGHT AT AIRPORT HOTEL:

Open shirted men recline with cigarettes on loungers,
fists full of tinnies, distant expressions.
Taxis ebb & flow, deposite linen jackets, overnight bags,
waste lines expanded. Feel the competition at the queue
for check in, alfa-male city.
“Roomservice is 24 hours”
Says the woman on reception, winking.
