How to Vacation

If you could eat that food at home
or watch that television program
from the comfort of your bed
why bother to move?

Enjoy the strange accents
and incomprehensible tongues.
Order the restaurant’s daily special
without knowing the ingredients.
Dance with the locals
without knowing the steps.
Stare at the skyscrapers
or the snow caps
or the horizon
beyond the ocean.

Do something you can’t.
Be someone you aren’t.
That’s how you vacation!
