leaving on a jet plane

she's going

to Spain

for a few months,

to run

with the bulls,

he's going to Costa Rica

for a year,

to fish

and drink,

and get old.

She's going to London,

to live

her life,

to read,

and eat, to be a wife.

i'm going

up to Wal-Mart

to purchase a giant

bag of orange

marshmallow peanuts,

and to get

batteries,

four double A's

for my

flashlight.
