Simple vinyl sign

HOTEL MOSEL

A clear uninterrupted pane of glass about 2.5meters x 2meters exposes the reception area
and the young girl working the front desk.

As I walk by she just stares out of the window
and I lock eyes with her week old black smudged eyeliner
she has an aura of chocolate brown frayed and forgotten hair.

I walk around the block and pass by once more, not because of her,
but because I secretly want her job.

This time she is reclined in the glass vitrine gazing up to a mounted T.V
... the hypercolour of The Simpsons shines on.

Dapper man has got it right
in a charcoal suit and a black cashmere scarf
until the eyes scroll down
only to be presented with
a thick white tube sock
tucked in
a thin soft leather
pennyloafer

Frankfurt am Main
Netto




He had a blonde splintery face, doughnut hole eyes, pig like nostrils and where there wasn't skin exposed there was leather and fabrics from the battlefield.
leather  cow boy hat
leather pant with a criss cross tie detail all the way down the outer side of each leg
black scuffed leather army boots cohesive with his timeless army green weighted coat.
The Silver Earring.
The silver earring hung centered between the bottom of his left ear lobe and the top of his shoulder.
The perfect mandala
a silver circle
with triangular patterns engraved, one inside the other
a turquoise stone centered
and a speck of red within its peripheries
"SCHNAPPS!" he says.



To the left a scuffed treble clef of laughter
old plaid man shimmying up the que
his almost bald head protected by an optimistic paper boy hat
freyed aged particles of hair secured by his neck up to the cusp of his scalp, some white, some still black
his head is pitched up at a 45 degree angle
as he cackles an aged sense of joy
scuffling his feet on the linoleum floor
tucked under his right arm
a 26 of cheap Russian vodka
he echos



Two behind is a dusty frau
in shades of charcoal
her head bows down to her change purse
in the corner of her right eye a perfect tear drop
...of white paint


Over the line reaches a chubby arm
(a dry mullet forms a horizon line)
she blindly  reaches over the que and confidently grabs a box of Feiges Früchtchen
the whole box
clang clang



Directly behind a classic mens sweater in tones of deep burgundy, muddled wedge-wood blue, soft black and flecks of mustard yellow knit.
His sunken nervous eyes shed optimism in all of his disbelief
his skinny slacks prop him up as he confides in a simple bag of lettuce and a bottle of cheap merlot
a post-Cohen apocalypse.

Black toque
gray blazer, dryclean only
standard black cotton button up
black fitted T underneath, crew neck
black slack with pinched roll
deep raspberry socks
multi-coloured sequined sneaker
white laces
white rubber crescent toe
tuscan gold wrist watch
a four day beard
in the middle of a critique

hands considerately hold each other
and then break free into a universal choreography
supporting speech
left leg crossed over right
toes noes presses on the wood floor
right hand rests on the seat of a wicker wooden chair
then back  to its better half
cusped left hand
left leg never uncrosses right

March 29th 2012/ Ausländerbehörde

Tiny sounds of trashy techno fraping out of small low grade headphones, 

the kind given out on economy flights

worn by a woman with a wet pony tail
in 5 degrees of cold

smoking a cigarette

black leather 3 quarter length button down blazer

domestic denim, boot cut
unidentified trainer

orange rust fleece, zip up mock neck

We are all victims in 

the immigrants wind
