Camperdown

Camperdown- Day after day and enjoy them I won’t. If ever there was bad luck it’s in this room. The balcony stands too far from the ground. If I fall it’s not my fault that it’s not child proof. Months have gone by and nothing’s been moved. Fifty rooms. Identical. The balcony stands a bit closer now. Still, no one bothered to make it child proof. I know that it hates me, the whole damn tower. If these walls could speak we’d argue for hours. How can I sleep under this cover if I can’t see an inch of colour? This building’s alive. No need to make amends its fine. I know this time it will pay for what it did. Against the skyline, God I swear I could have died. That’s why this time it will pay for what it did. Air conditioning. A colour TV. A separate kitchen that’s serviced daily. A five minute walk to the royal hospital is pointless now but comforting to know.
