los angeles

checked into the hotel cecil yesterday

i was given a key for a room on the fifteenth floor

and i checked into it

it surprised me as i had heard the higher floors were for

residents only

as of may this year

according to the guy at the desk anyhow it's actually the second and third floors

so he told me

i had read that richard ramirez stayed on the fourteenth floor and of course

i asked about it

but the clerk said nobody knew the specifics on the room in which stayed and i said

ah shit."
