Let me wait on you

 
Hello, is this your first time here?
If yes – well, welcome.
And for those of you who have been here before – welcome back.
 
This is a place where candles drip.
Where steam pushes steel horses up mountains and spoons clang against metal bed frames.
 
I’ve only been here for a little while -
Whose that man in the picture on the wall, you ask?
He sold prescriptions in the back.
 
I’ve only complained once about the lack of light here,
trickling in from the East.
And sometimes, if I can’t make up my mind
I peruse the hallways
And let the knowledge from my brain seep into the walls,
instead of the other way around.
 
If you see something dark blue and purple
Don’t scare it – it’s most likely your shadow.
Me? I was born in the month of June but prefer the month of May.
 
So– if you see something familiar – shout it out loud.
And make sure to save room for desert.
