Vacation

A friend was going to play a concert.

Rain was a possibility,

But we all headed to town anyway,

The boys to judo and volleyball.

They would drop me off.

But volleyball was cancelled,

Due to sodden grass.

Then the concert was cancelled.

The youngest, the oldest, and me

Went to a coffee shop.

I sipped six swallows of a caffeinated drink

(Which kept me up until almost 2am),

Saw one friend, then another,

Read a short book of the Bible aloud

Each direction. A small vacation.
