♫♪  Chocolate Grinder Mix 112 - Mental Hotel

Tides of stare-downs and bleats and chants in the lobby. Tongue skunk murk. Another quarter goes in the slot machine, dying and sputtering its busted swan song. Around the corner, a crooner plays to a room full of wet eyes and tablecloths. Youth rages past with full force, puffed up chest and all. Behind the front desk, a clerk’s creased brow lightens as a small radio smoothly drifts in and out of stations, piano hits mingling with agitated ghost-strings and broken glass. The clerk checks her reflection in a gold-flaked mirror. A canvas-draped food cart sits out in the parking lot, the heat melting the raw materials inside. Out back, in the garden, there’s a funk in the air. Remainder of manure. Things are strange here. It’ll get easier. Now?
