VACATION
Alarm goes off at 8 am, a splash of cold water in the face to wake up.
Breakfast, the subway, work. Colleagues, the wife, kids, the home. Need to sleep.
A loan, a mortgage, a debt delinquency, a new smartphone.
It was wise that I didn’t let them get a dog.
A traffic jam, nasty weather, don’t forget to get to the supermarket.
Just let Saturday come. The shopping mall, an old friend, a couple of beers, the kitchen, Monday.
It’s just a month before my vacation. I’ll be lying on a chaise, going for breakfast and getting suntan near a pool.
All inclusive. An excursion, pyramids, or castles—actually it doesn’t matter.
A gift shop. Lunch and a couple of free cocktails. The sun is glistening on the sea just as in the travel agency poster. All inclusive.
It’s so nice that it’s possible to buy a sunset! But do you really need it when you have a TV?
