Race home
from the tired, old bus
and weary occupants.
Tear off your clothes
and slip into
cool, waxy pajamas
without bindings,
belts, buttons, boots, bras.
Prepare a warm bowl of soup,
a tall glass
grab a TV tray.
Bury yourself in pillows and comfortesr.
Turn on the TV,
with everything you could
need within arm’s length,
take a deep breath.
Enjoy the company of old friends.
