Someone stole a trashcan.

Someone left the lid on the ground

Turned upside down like a room service tray

Set outside the hotel door

For the maids to come pick up.

Several plastic cups with lids and straws

From some fast food place

Lay akimbo like my arms now across my chest.

Am I the maid that must come and deal with the mess?

A few wrappers, soggy from the rain,

My sullen eyes see lipstick on one straw.

Someone's having more fun than me!

A bell chimes now!

...... too loud.
