Hotel Alley

Skid row bums
Dress for no occasion,
Refuse raiders
Need no reservations.

Drug-addicted tenants
Beg for coins and candy,
Deadbeat derelicts
Reside at Hotel Alley.

Gutter renters
Lounge against brick walls,
Vagrant paupers
Rise to no wake-up calls.

Psychotic transients
Cruise dim lit corners
Wayward sons
Fight without honor.
