Long lines and cramped flights,
bland food tasting like warm crap:
holiday travel.
Meeting family,
all dwelling on past actions;
skin deep interest.
More useless gifts,
and hours wasted in small talk;
No relaxation.
So rude and hurried.
Must keep up with the Jones’:
California.
Too many people
rushing to get nowhere fast;
not a vacation.
