At the grand hotel
A grand hotel is where I stayed.
Five hundred a night is what I payed.
Three rooms, two bath, a servant too.
A stained-glass window from ceiling to shoe.
.
No one noticed that I was he:
the man who robbed two and murdered three.
My wig was gelled; my clothing, neat.
Yet I’ve been on the run for over a week.
.
I did what I did out of greed.
I never look back after I flee.
I’ll do it again a thousand times.
I might be insane, for I show the signs.
.
The window is open and wind blows in.
Jumping now should atone for my sins.
My body shakes. There’s sweat on my hands.
With a vicious plop, my body lands.
