Another poem by Richard Brautigan

Things to Do on a Boring Tokyo Night in a Hotel

1. Have dinner by yourself.That´s always a lot of fun.

2. Wander aimlessly around the hotel.
This is a huge hotel, so theres lots of space
to wander aimlessly around.

3. Go up and down the elevator for no reason
at all.
The people going up are going to their rooms.
I´m not.
Those going down are going out.
I´m not.

4. I seriously think about the house phone
and calling my room 3003 and letting it ring
for a very long time. Then wondering where
Im at and when I will return. Should I leave
a message at the desk saying that when I return
I should call myself?
