One Night Alone

I just wanted to get away
from it all, breathe alone
keep the TV dark, think about
my old Chevy 
and times when nothing
disturbed and I checked in
grabbed a complimentary donut
and headed to 222, seems
I’ve always seen 222, on clocks,
microwave, cell, not sure why
it wasn’t a surprise
when I was handed the key, 
but it seemed the best to 
not to question but accept 
for my one-night getaway.

Rain was a companion, some drip
from something needing repair
diving onto the sill with an accurate 
cadence,
but all were told of my night away,
keeping worry at a minimum
and thought a hot shower
could be an appetizer to good sleep
but the postage size soap and thimble size
mouth wash
told me to go home.

I didn’t belong where I was
but can say I tried.
