De-magnetized randomly

my room key card keep dying
at the hotel door, in the elevator
the buttons holding their breath as
I keep inserting my room card
with no result looking so silly standing
in an elevator that does move but
in random directions as unseen
passengers call it
i ride up and down helplessly
until the elevator stops randomly
at my floor and i get off
only to realize my key does
not open my door and i
once again randomly ride
up and down and up and down
until i arrive at the lobby
again
asking for a new key only
this time, with purpose, riding
up the elevator to floor 5
only to topple exhausted
into my bed.
