fly away

it's easy, she says,
do this. pack your
bags, get a ticket,
get on the plane
and just go. why not.
pick an island,
select a place,
somewhere you've
never been before,
and just get there.
go now before you're
too old, before
you're involved
again with someone
new. lock the house,
stop the mail,
pack lightly
and fly away.
