7-Day Vacation BlueA Poem by Richard
On a 7-day vacation blue
Disappearing twice in a sun-soaked field was our tattoo Blood from the mouth of the sorry iguana who’s mind was racing from a hungry piranha A Caribbean man with a light-bulb head He had a grand idea of tuxedos made of lead By the 5th day the sky over Peru was how do I say? Machu Picchu! which in Latin means “let me drink with you from the spirit steam” which in English means “what the f**k!?” . There were detailed lines in the face of the poor But no one was laughing outside dusty desert store . Christmas, the 29th of January, on satellite with bells We never used to get snow here in hell. Dalmascan nights with scotch tape on the rocks .. locks on our tongues and piercings and jewels Now when we look down all we see is skeletal reflections in dead empty pools I wish I wish I wish we hadn't thrown ourselves into unknown blackboards covered in destination chalk but rather than sleep, we dream while we talk . I’ll be happy to be home in my nice warm bed
