A Place To Stay This Night

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



A place to stay this night

Stranded in Bethlehem
With no manger in sight
Can someone recommend
A place to stay this night

About this poem

Well…Technically it is now morning…I could always call my Buttercup on N Bronson…But he’s probably asleep…I find it hard to comprehend that for the life of me I could put the freaking spare tire on by myself…I guess I just haven’t been myself lately…Don’t bother…I think I can figure it out…
