193. With no light on the door
I wasn't quite sure
If a night clerk was working within
From behind a red curtain
Limped a perilous person

Brushed back a gray forelock
And bid me to sign in the book
With no bonhomie
He proffered the key
Never once did he give me a look

Fake I.D.'s and honeybees

here is the complete stanza:
198. Well the water looks like jewelry
When it's coming out the spout
And nothing could make me feel better
Than a wet kiss on the mouth
Fake I.D.'s and honeybees
The jagged skyline of car keys
I never knew the bird could fly so low

I can see you in your room at night
Pictures on your walls
Little forest scenes
and high school Halloweens
But they don't come to you
They don't come to you at all

The kitchen window, the light will bend
You'll be carving a pumpkin with a knife
When someone at the table says:
"That's not what I call a life!"
