The poems pursue the author's long fascination with the thought-worlds of Gnosticism and Anthroposophy. Gnostics believe they have seen through the world's shoddy pretences. They 'know' the score, hence the name given their tendency, gnosis, a Greek word that means 'knowledge'. As to the word hotel: No one belongs in a hotel.
