Lazy vacations are the best
way to recharge. Escape your
routine by sleeping too late
in someone else’s bed,
throwing your legs over
each other and snoozing alarms
endlessly. Relish in the air
of this new place. Snore it in,
and out, coughing awake
with foreign phlegm. Take
a shower or maybe don’t,
wear the same clothes
day after day after day.
No one knows you
or will notice, anyway.
There are too many people
existing here to single you out.
Ignore social media’s churn
for content, letting time blur
together, forgetting todays
date, even the days
of the week. Ignore how much
you saved or spent and just be.
Enjoy each other and the life
you take for granted every day.
Especially since lazy vacations
don’t last forever. And home is
just a plane’s flight away.
