Beautiful, exuberant celebration of travel...why aren't we all having this much fun?.


the shower still leaks and i and you both have long lists of chores to do
but rise with me now and follow
towards mount hood
where lavender fields
thick with bees
drift
in a warm haze
the colors undulating
rhythmically
and two miles further up the road alpacas stare
and pee only ever in one single spot
did you know that
they never spit
for they are not llamas
shorn
they resemble poodles
easy to feed
the website says
they are your ticket to country living
with one available
to suit every pocket
but since they are social animals
you should begin with at least three
