Making travel plans,
like getting dressed for a date,
is a leap of faith.
Like flickering tongues
of flame in green…blue…red. Just
plug in and enjoy.

TV’s “Fisherman
and His Wife” story for our
times. Unalloyed greed.
Inside the snowglobe
winter’s still life settles as
flakes swirl in the air.
Two tribes – In-laws and
Parents – force you to over-
eat, then watch TV.
Urban mall jungle.
Shoppers prowl for deals, fangs bared,
credit cards dripping.
“She hurt my daughter,
so I wanted to hurt her.
Can’t you understand?“
