Vacation

On vacation,
I'm going to think of kangaroos with their long tails,
jumping over cars stuck in traffic jams.
Lions will chase giraffes until the giraffes realize that
they can pick up the lions, depositing them high
into branches, the lions too startled to respond.
On vacation, I will think of all the people
I know who walk like penguins,
those who are sly and tricky as foxes
and I will be glad to be away from them all.
I will glide through my vacation like a swan,
as gracefully as a dolphin frolicking in the light
blue sea.
