You're in an unlit passageway, whose gloom
Depresses you. Was this the way to choose?
There's musak, and a smell which, you assume,
Means you are passing some neglected loos.
A door's marked "Bar". It leads you to a room,
Unwelcoming and glum, where they sell booze.
The barman's grunting at his mobile phone.
A woman playing patience sits alone.
