What we going to do, about addressing the elephant in the room
Leave it be behind you, rest of us will continue this meeting by zoom
By David Kavanagh
When others speak
in hushed tones,
behind closed doors,
my voice
rises
for the voiceless.
My heart
only knows
to advocate,
to persuade,
to fight
for the cause.
New Orleans’ 1962 ostentatious hotel lobby
extravagant crystal fluted chandeliers
highly polished walnut counter tops
opulent Italian marble floors
plush scarlet velvet cushioned couches
swankly brass and glass décor
luxury never seen after nineteen sixty-two
Wreaths
Paintings
Wall hangings
A decorator's paradise
Wooden cars
Paint brushes
Stick on designs
A child's moment to learn how to drive for the first time
Candle wicks
Candle scents
Colored wax
A candle maker's luxury
A hobby for all
Who come to seek out
Their good fortune
In the lobby of the courthouse
People’s demeanor
Are such a telltale
Casual and comfortable
The secretaries
Determined and debonair
The lawyers
Focused and unperturbed
The judges
And then the others
With scowls on their faces
Nervousness and concern
The weight of accusation
The slow ominous pace
Of being led directly
To the slaughterhouse
AP: Honorable Mention 2020
I am sitting in a hotel lobby in a small town south of Des Moines
That means Iowa for those of you who did not know
I am drinking coffee with French Vanilla flavoring and sweetener
Waiting for my twin sister, listening to loud country western music
I would not mind the music if it was on a proper volume
It is weirdly loud and proud for six a.m.
as if it thinks it is better than rock and roll or bluegrass
my nerves are screaming
A lobby's meant to represent
The building it is fronting,
To welcome all who enter
From the elements it's blunting.
It may be fancy, to impress
Or functional and boring
But either way, it greets us
From its ceilings to its flooring.
And whether an apartment, office,
Inn or a hotel,
The lobby sends a message
Not too easy to dispel.
It lets us know if we fit in
Or if we don't belong
And nothing can convince us
That our feelings might be wrong.
