six days and seven nights

we take a cruise

to a warmer

climate,

where the water

is clear,

where the sun is up

and the palm

trees

sway in the gentle

wind.

we eat

steaks

and lobsters around

the clock,

we drink.

and sun ourselves

on the veranda of our

cabin.

we're wearing our

monogramed

robes,

and sandals,

we're drinking 

champagne.

we look at each other

and toast the view

blue water,

and ask each other

when we're going to do

this again.
