girls trip to Arkansas
I am going on a trip to Arkansas
with four friends, all women, older than me
in their seventies; not late, but middle
most of them rarely travel
figuring out a place to stay took four days
I thought we had it on day one
but no one got back to me by text
I finally had to call them and leave voice messages
“the chairs do not look comfortable”, one said.
This was a joke, right?
Afraid not.
We had to find a different place.
She is one of the two who rarely travels.
So we let her choose the place.
One of us is driving, but not me.
I have a sports car.
No one wants to sit four hours with their legs out the window.
Every other day one of them says “maybe I should not go”.
I think we should all go, and I do not care who drives.
I am sure "who drives?" will take them four more days to decide.
