In Transit

Still winter, my tan sends me a postcard

from some Tiki bar in Thailand.

Having a great time, wishing you well,

the b*****d writes. I take notes

on the weather here, the geese

making plans for a run on the border.

Wary though I am of those bloody honkers,

I'm desperate enough, I'd fly budget

if I have to, even freight 

if it gets me and my tan reunited 

blitzed bronzed and braised

on a beach before spring

in some Tiki bar.

wish i could, but your northern borders still too damn cold and the southern border got a wall, and i am not certain which side of it would be preferable

I admit it’s hard to tan in Detroit in winter.
