The Embodiment of Privilege

However gorgeous the setting, odds are
Once you get there, you’re going to have to live
In some kind of a building. It’s the building,

Or, more precisely, the interiors,
That will really determine how gorgeous
Are your ordinary hours. Oh, we know.

You’re outdoorsy. Your rooms are just your base.
You only need all mod cons and a view.
Only. So much must go right for only.

There’s a handsome hotel in the mountains,
An impressive edifice on approach.
You wish you were able to afford it,

But you’d be surprised, once you got inside,
How much it’s like a sanatorium.
