the hot tub

i ponder the hot tub,
perusing the multitude
of choices
online.

everybody and their sister
sells them

now. walmart, home depot.
i think even
the grocery store is offering
a deal
on one.

but it would be nice,
to come home

snowy cold or summery hot
and soak in the bubbly
commotion of water.

the jacuzzi spray hitting those
sore spots.

perhaps one
built for two, or three
or five?

an odd number seems odd.
two just right

in case love is in the air
or too many white russians
have been consumed.

i envision a built in
little bar for ice and beverages.

music.
some party lights strung around.
but what about the neighbors
and their

spying eyes.
i'm already on the hot seat
with the board

and their coven of witches.
i never should have painted the front
door red.

they definitely won't
be invited over

on opening day, not even if
they beg.
