Packing a Bag

I am in need of a vacation.

Needing a chance to unwind,
to breathe different air,
to forget the day-2-day stresses;
the drivers that slip precariously in front of me,
the co-workers who play politics like children playing dress up
or
the simple need to be in two places at once
with little possibility of relief.

A vacation is what I need...

Blue, blue waters reflecting a perfect sky
lots of warmth and lazy me
I suppose a little sightseeing just to say
I was there
But no more than my mindlessness is willing to tolerate.

I want to rock
slowly
with a good book
that makes me think-
or not-
drifting in a hammock
towards slumber;
waking in time for a swim
and a sensuous meal.

Oh,
my sweet,
I can smell it,
taste it,
almost touch it.

I

am

in

deep,

deep

need

of a vacation :-)
