I. HOTEL BREAKFAST

Hotel Breakfast - click for full-size scan

Little sounds
Echo in the room
The wooden protest
Of a chair pulled back
The metallic scrape
Of knife on plate
The soft chime
Of jug pouring into glass
The hushed voices
Of the guests

Alarm buzzes
Shower steams
Voices hushed
Breakfast barely touched
