beach pancakes

some people

when they get back from

a vacation,

from a cruise,

or a week in Spain

are perky

and excited.

they're refreshed from

the week away.

if i go to the beach

for a night

i'm exhausted from

all that packing

and travel.

frazzled by the commotion

in the hotel lobby.

confused by which

pancake joint

to eat at.

The Pocahontas?

or Captain Ahab's?
