Reviews it online,
three and a half stars,
since the ride is startlingly smooth,
the bed, springy yet unbowed.
The landing is not quite
as conveniently located
as advertised.
She preferred the wheels
of bicycles spinning in sync,
a basket of yipping synchronicity
to rooms where unstoried
knick-knacks jostled and rattled on
their way to a new land, always nearly
falling off the shelf at her favorite
London B and B where daily
an upright piano rolled past, marking
the hour of six. Remarkable, really,
how every family is remothered
by a great wind.
