Poem: Fear Is The Cheapest Room In The House

by Jon Katz
The Cheapest Room In The House

Fear is the cheapest room in the house, with the worst view, I think. Permit me to show you something more suitable, I would like to see you living in better conditions, with a better view of the city, of the world beyond. I know the Innkeeper, he is a friend of my angel, they text each other all of the time, they each have a very different view of the world.

I am just the night clerk at the desk, but I have the keys to all of the rooms.

I can’t promise anything right now, all of our best rooms are taken, but I know if you close your eyes,

kneel down and pray, just for yourself, that something sweet and good will happen in the world,

and a good room, a hopeful one with a beautiful view of the world will open up, and you will

find that hope and love and happiness cost a bit more, but are well worth it, cheap at the price.

So when you want to change, are ready for a different room, please come and see me.

Your soul and my soul will take a walk in the park outside, maybe ride one of the horses,

You heart and my heart will become the oldest and closest of friends.
