a talk with the boss

i tell my boss,
who happens to be me
that i need a vacation, a long
vacation
away from it all.

i tell myself to sit down
at the big desk
and let's talk about this.

where do you want to go,
are you going alone.

what about work?

i nod, listening to myself.
i don't really like travelling
by myself,

except for maybe a night or two.
so we both agree,

just a short trip, a practice
trip
until love comes along,

and then we'll talk the cruise,
the mountains,
france
or Italy.

okay, i tell my boss, who happens
to be me.

good talk. off to work now.
