Paid Vacation Time

stitch and thread
with no down payments
our neighbors see it through their
own eyes so that the others hear
the story, the grapevine
dot your i's, cross your t's

are laughing at and not with you
and all those friends you thought you knew
you'd trade it all for a tank full of fuel

all the warmth that a boy can give
sheepskin costume
