[Stylist] poem

[Ann Chiappetta]

Doubletree by Hilton

or

Four dinky pillows for the bed

By  Ann Chiappetta

 

I thought the suite would be opulent 

The King  bed 

A sultan's  necessity  for sleep

 

An Enviable, blissful transom    

 

Whisk Weary  bones   beneath duvet and anticipate the soft

Pillowed  plumpness  cradling my head

My cranium  flattens cotton puff pastries  instead

WTF I say and inspect the offered spread.

I discover Dollar store purchases within

A  pricy three-night stay

 

shall we be complacent?

elect to ignite our  inner Karen  and  

shout of the injustice of dinky pillows -- 

it insults  our guesthood 

 

In the prone position

 

these little nothings  make no difference 

 

Another thing about these pillows is their identity

Are they feather and down or 

microfiber  polypill or some 

hybrid of all of the above

I can't figure out which one or  which combination 

They're like a generic of generic of generic 

I've taken to putting a sofa cushion behind me instead 

I am not Karen and will not stay there again.

Post a thumbs down on YELP while 

reclining on a 

Too hard king-sized bed

In a too large corner suite

With too many little pillows for sleep.
