a polkadotted
napkin
full of problems
tied to a stick
slung across
my shoulder
strutting
stubbornly
from one place
to another
never questioning
why I bother
meandering
all over
a runaway
to sunny beaches
gloomy cities
far off reaches
of far earth
with stars poured
in my eyes
and hard-earned
pennies in
my purse
hoping that
this time will
be different
it couldn't
be worse
?

Ever the escapist. Seeing new places with rose-colored glasses. Believing that everything will be better "over there". But forgetting to deal with my problems before I leave.
