Lazy day, lazy
night. Dinner at seven with
turkey and plantains.
At Schooner Bay, iced
tea – 60 cents at Big Lots –
is nearly three bucks.
Island band’s Christmas
tunes with a reggae twist our
dinner serenade.
We eat cereal
on the porch by the sea, while
island music plays.

water is a wake-up call
to swim, sun, sail, dream.

like the lethal injection
you cannot resist.

many possibilities
under all that junk.
Making travel plans,
like getting dressed for a date,
is a leap of faith.
