Here's a poet I'll
read this, called

00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:04.620 align:middle line:84%
"Grand Hotel,"
which is in Prague.

00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:06.420 align:middle line:84%
We were staying we
stayed by mistake one

00:00:06.420 --> 00:00:10.650 align:middle line:84%
night Anne Marie and I at the
Grand Hotel, which I discovered

00:00:10.650 --> 00:00:16.470 align:middle line:84%
while we were there was
a Nazi brothel in Prague

00:00:16.470 --> 00:00:19.890 align:middle line:90%
and this is about that.

00:00:19.890 --> 00:00:21.480 align:middle line:84%
"The time I took
Anne Marie to what

00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.760 align:middle line:84%
had been a Nazi
brothel in Prague,

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:25.950 align:middle line:84%
some tourists were standing
under the chandelier

00:00:25.950 --> 00:00:29.010 align:middle line:84%
and some leftover communists
stood there explaining

00:00:29.010 --> 00:00:32.189 align:middle line:84%
the thickness of glass and
what the history was of glass

00:00:32.189 --> 00:00:33.840 align:middle line:90%
making in the Czech Republic.

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:35.910 align:middle line:84%
And we walked through
them to get seats,

00:00:35.910 --> 00:00:38.820 align:middle line:84%
so we could suck
in the Art Nouveau,

00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:41.430 align:middle line:84%
over our coffee and
undercooked pancakes.

00:00:41.430 --> 00:00:43.620 align:middle line:84%
Before we got into
the ancient elevator

00:00:43.620 --> 00:00:46.290 align:middle line:84%
and went back to our
room, en suite as it

00:00:46.290 --> 00:00:49.290 align:middle line:84%
were and dirty, dark
and seedy at that.

00:00:49.290 --> 00:00:52.440 align:middle line:84%
And looked in the bottom of the
wardrobe behind the blankets

00:00:52.440 --> 00:00:55.710 align:middle line:84%
to see what they did
with love, the pricks.

00:00:55.710 --> 00:00:57.810 align:middle line:84%
And could we sleep
on that mattress

00:00:57.810 --> 00:01:00.330 align:middle line:84%
and how thick was
the window glass.

00:01:00.330 --> 00:01:03.480 align:middle line:84%
And this time walked down
the great marble staircase,

00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:08.340 align:middle line:84%
holding hands the whole way
down nor did I bark even once

00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:11.090 align:middle line:84%
or say, fuck you
to the Germans."
