Latchkey kids,
living in a crack motel,
are in no hurry
to get 'home'
before their parent.
Maybe not even then.
Sometimes,
they're a little careless
with their keys
and have to ask Monty
at the office
to let them in
to their motel room home.
Sometimes,
Monty gets tired . . .
tired of trudging up
and unlocking
the door for them.
Sometimes,
Monty tells the kids:
"Oh, no.
that was your mom and dad in 206?
Sorry, kid.
They moved."
The scary part
for the latchkey kids
is that sometimes . . .
SOMETIMES . . .Monty's not joking.
