Things to Do on a Boring Tokyo Night in a Hotel

by Richard Brautigan

 

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

  2. Wander aimlessly around the hotel.
    This is a huge hotel, so there’s 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
    I’m at and when I will return. Should I leave
    a message at the desk saying that when I return
         I should call myself?
