a different town,
on a cold, cold day.
a little sort of,
runaway.

a chance,
to
change,
the view.

to
refresh the mind
to
let it all hang out,
to
slowly unwind.

to
run and play,
while all rugged up,
on a windy beach.
to
listen to gulls,
squabble and screech.
while
i watch my boys
climb on the rocks
and
explore the worlds,
within the pools.

then,
a lunch of,
food sublime,
cooked by hands
other than mine.

family chatter,
over
coffee and milkshakes.
a delectable
kiwi and tequila
baked cheesecake.

some time spent walking
in the park,
testing swings
and  
sliding down,
all manner of things.
before,
going to the movies
to sit in the dark
(so warm and snoozable)
and watch...
the blue genie play,
on this robin william's
memorial day...

then,
more coffee.
a quick pit stop
and
the drive on, home.
all refreshed and renewed,
after our runaway roam.
