don't be like that

The Grand Budapest Hotel, film by Wes Anderson, 2014

No doubt, Monsieur Gustave H. (Ralph Fiennes), concierge of the Grand Budapest Hotel, has been privy to many a semi-private conversation.

The hotel I stayed in was not remotely as magnificent as the Grand Budapest, nor was it located in a fictional country. And I don’t think the words I recall hearing that night would likely be spoken in the Grand. No strip clubs in Zubrowka. It happens to be a favourite movie of mine, that’s all. Is this even a poem?
