like 7:30
& my plan for the morning
was to talk
to the motel lady
I've already paid
BUT
the office isn't staffed
she comes in
& I'll be leaving at an off time
SO
I wanted to make sure
LEAVING the
KEY
or dropbox or WHAT
BUT
I coulda just DONE that
the REAL REASON
I want to BUY
a TOWEL
---- now hear me out
it's adorable
OH
I went through this whole thing in my HEAD
I took a picture
I was gonna
SAY
HEAR me OUT
& just have a picture
BUT
then I thought
MAYBE
that looks like you're
giving some KINDA signal
NOW
it feels kinda
NOT
the just joy of it
SO
THEN
I'm LIKE
should I tell him all THAT
OR should
I JUST
MOVE on with an explanation of the towel business
APPARENTLY
we decided
that MADE us leave this in
MY $ is on wanting credit for
HEAR me OUT
with then
a PICTURE
BUT
SOMEBODY here
wants to put
$$$
on
UNDERSTANDING
whether
THAT
IS
a THING
ANYWAY
I'm melee dosed
& I don't think
I've been
OH well
I guess in minneapolis
BUT
THIS place is a different mindset
I CALLED this place
I've been using booking.com
it's all together
BUT
when I went to book the workshop
SOMETHING
on the website was
CONFUSING
ENOUGH
for me
to HAVE to email
AND
when he ASKED me
if I had other
QUESTIONS
I asked about hotels
when I called
I'm LIKE
HI
I'm so and so
do you TAKE
such and such method of payment
the person on the phone
CALLED the OWNER
to ASK
& RATHER than
SAYING
YES
or NO
she SAID
IF
there is a picture of it on the machine
THEN we TAKE it
I CAN'T SEE the machine
the person on the
PHONE
says, yes
it is, in fact, pictured
BUT
if she's the OWNER
& she doesn't
KNOW
probably
it's a passive aggressive
could you have just f*CKing LOOKED
BUT
I'm not at all certain
that ANY
of this
gives me a good feeling
that there won't be a problem
BUT
it was
EXACTLY
what I WANTED
I've been having different experiences
in different places
by design
& I figured
there would be enough options
I wouldn't be sleeping in the
CAR
SO
I'm in the old school
ROADSIDE
& I've been sitting here
trying to
DESCRIBE
I've been
EASING
into it
THIS is more
in the WILD
ANYWAY
the tagline
FEELS
ironic
& the TOWELS -- just the hand towels
like some kind of towel charger
with a CROWN
at a jaunty angle
& THIS TOWEL
I MEAN
I THINK
THIS is a THING I do
MAYBE
this TOWEL is the
NEW
ghost dogs
I LOVE the ghost dogs
when I took that spring break back in college
to fredericksburg
because I thought surely there would be
NO spring break ACTION
& GRACELAND
had just come out
& I had this old janky typewriter
I listened
& I typed lyrics I liked
AND
I f*CKing collaged them
with STUFF I
picked
UP
I bought
the ghost dogs
at some funky little
SHOP
they watched
BUT
I've also got rules
for the spending
of money
LIKE
you do not need more
STUFF
you got a problem with
STUFF
well THIS adventure
has a SIDE QUEST
UNLIKE
basically everywhere I have ever stayed
there is NO COFFEE apparatus
I ACCOUNTED
for THAT
BUT
there's no HOT WATER
SO
I MEAN
the tap gets PRETTY hot
I been mixing my LAIRD maca
with hot tap water
kinda GRIM
DOLLAR general
had like a Kcup
their brand
I'm like
NO
what're you gonna do with
THAT
SO
I ended up with the
ADORABLE
coffee
MUG
there is a microwave
WHICH
I don't love
BUT
COFFEE
AND
one thing
HOT
water
