clicking the ruby slippers

i send away

for a pair of ruby slippers

on Amazon.

for men

though, not the girly kind.

maybe

wingtip style.

i want to go home

that badly.

just three clicks and i'll

be back,

i'll be in my jammies,

my cup

of cocoa in hand,  a plate

of cookies

on the nightstand.

the dog curled up by

the fire.

a book or two to peruse,

and you.

asleep

on my shoulder.

three clicks. not one,

not two.
